Fountain
- 3 September 2011 08:15124438I don't understand why the fountain has to be turned off just because the fence is up.
- 3 September 2011 09:01124445the fencing is only put up when the fountain is out of action, presumably to stop any vandalism.
- 3 September 2011 09:05124446Perhaps there ought to be some attractive permanent railings round it. That would save a whole lot of messing around and protect it from vandals all the time.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson

The Fountain and the roof of the changing room building in Elms Vale....
That roof has had more tiles throw at it....than hot dinners...another thread I know....but the footballers and youngsters just kick it all down again.....why not put a corregated Iron Roof on?.......simple....
Re. The Fountain.....
get the Italians on it....their Fountains are gorgeous.......and they do not have to collect the money for the wishes..... - 3 September 2011 12:23124471Oh for goodness sake! Have a fountain or don't have a fountain, but if you are going to have one make sure it is fit for purpose and safe. It isn't rocket science (dreadful phrase but it seems so apt!!)

What the tourists that do stop off here must think i will never know.
ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 3 September 2011 19:51124550Thanks Howard , it shows how I can walk past a thing a million times and not see what is happening . I thought the fencing went up because of public events in the square and the fountain was turned off because of the fencing/event rather than the fence goes up when the fountain isnt working
