Lib Dem Leader has welcomed the return of a popular drinking fountain to Priory Park. Local residents had contacted the Lib Dem leader to ask what had happened to the drinking fountain in the park, which had been removed, forcing local children to purchase expensive water from the park’s nearby kiosk.

Lynne Featherstone urged the council to replace the fountain, pointing out that free drinking water should be available to all.The council has now installed a new fountain by the paddling pool.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“Kids need to drink plenty of water when out playing – even if the weather is not that good. I’m delighted that a new fountain has been installed.”
