The long-awaited day arrived on 29 March – work began on the installation of a new drinking fountain for the benefit of all Park users.  Steve and Jack struggled with the geology of this hill, but four holes and a lot of sweat later they managed to successfully lay the  pipework from the pavement at the Plum Lane entrance.

A second team joined them the next day to install a robust casing for the fountain and dog bowl which was cemented in place by the end of Friday, flush with the sloping ground to prevent serious trip hazards.  MORE NEWS NEXT WEEK!
