This is good news, as we now have the new information boards in place and are hoping to restart the fountain next month. When that happens we expect visitor numbers to increase and a bin on Drury Lane is just what we need. @tony24764 @LpoolBIDcompany @TourGuideLiverp
Letter going out to residents living in Beetham and Strand Plazas about the new bin going on Drury Lane, following our walkabout with officers on Monday morning.

Following the recent repainting we now have two new information boards giving our fountain's history and plans for the future. We're now looking forward to restarting it for a trial period in the next few weeks. Watch this space! @CllrNickSmall @hiddenliverpool @TourGuideLiverp

You're right but plans are now well under way to restore our fountain to the glorious sight it once was. This link will give you a lot of information on the history, plans for restoration and how you can help by contributing to our fund raising campaign. https://t.co/4Ij5RTjzlK

Sadly can't remember the last time Beetham Plaza looked anything but a DIY project

Our fountain is a sad sight but we have plans for better times ahead now the cladding work on Beetham Plaza is coming to an end. Watch this space!
@BootleBee @thedustyteapot @angiesliverpool @LiverpoolVista I visited a few weeks back, a sad sight as the area undergoes redevelopment.

Why Boris Johnson is finished, in one cartoon. People don’t get over the fury of hypocrisy like this. Thank you @tonyhusband1

Great response to this public survey. Our fountain has sadly been out of order for many months but we're hoping it will be up and running again in the very near future. Watch this space!

Great interview on Radio Merseyside this morning about the plans to restore our much loved bucket fountain. It also gives details on how you can support our campaign.

With all due respect @MayorLpool and @Kristoforbrown, they've had four years for a "proper investigation" into #BICo and two secret cracks at it. Perhaps, it's time @lpoolcouncil let people without a vested interest in the continued coverup take a look?! It's called #transparency

Three years later I bet they’ve still never seen a schedule of works. Doubt there’s ever been one, or ever will be if this property developer “persuades” @lpoolcouncil to allow him to continue to breach the terms of his lease with impunity.
@ShirtandJ @tony24764 @jp_hanlon @MayorLpool @lpoolcouncil @GregClarkMP @MCunningham1232 @TAXIALLIANCELPO @MetroMayorSteve @EvertonGreens @LIndependents @tabduffy39 8/ 25/06/22 Creighton to EL “We have not seen a schedule of works. Can you please request these? We will require a full specification together with estimates of cost and/or tendered sum. Sign off will be on practical completion. C is to provide notice of this" #accountability

Great to see so many people enjoying our fountain, which will look even better after the planned repainting. Unfortunately we do have some litter problems so thanks to @CllrNickSmall for assisting us in our attempts to have litter bins installed on the plaza and Drury Lane.

Delighted to report that after more than 12 months out of action our fountain is up and running again. Lovely to see the attention it’s attracting from so many people who stop to enjoy it’s incredible sight and sounds.

@voicesforlpool1 @PaulPaul49 @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Met tonight with Stephen Yip and Liam Fogarty and others. We're launching the People's Choice / People's Voice petition for a Mayoral referendum next week. Whether you are pro or anti-Mayor, this should be decided by the people not stitched-up by Cllrs.

This is an inappropriate business in our historical centre and another slap in the face for those fighting to protect our cultural heritage. This planning committee has a history of ignoring protests and local interests. Surely time for a change.
It's less than 24 hours after the decision to grant Hooters a licence was taken and already I'm hearing reports that a business in next door Oriel Chambers may not renew its lease and move away. The impact of this decision on Water Street will be significant - and not positive.
