Are Bexhill seafronts fountains less important than other priorities?
Bexhill seafront fountain SUS-190724-133209001  I read with interest the readers letter regarding lack of progress getting the Bexhill fountains working again and strongly agree that this situation must be addressed for the benefit of children, families, tourists and the town as a whole. However, having written recently to the Leader of Rother District Council on this subject, the reply received leaves me with little confidence this is a priority. Despite the fountains being installed fairly recently, there seems to be no contractual remedies that place responsibility for the repairs on the original designer or installer; you would expect this with effective procurement. We know there are other priorities for our council. Similar fountains are operated successfully in many other places and so as a community, we should require our council to explain why our fountains are dry and what they now plan to do to let our children enjoy them again.
