Installed across London, many historic fountains were switched off in the 1960s & 70s. Today only a handful of these beautiful public amenities still work. Restoring them brings back vitality to a public space, offers an environmentally friendly public resource, educates and inspires children and creates a sense of local pride. the Mayor of London wants to reduce the number of single-use plastic water bottles used and provide free access to healthy tap water. The average London adult buys more than three plastic water bottles every week - a startling 175 bottles per person. In total, some 7.7billion plastic bottles are bought across the UK each year. We all should adopt small changes that can have a big environmental impact - like refilling reusable bottles with tap water, instead of needlessly buying new single-use ones. Heritage of London is offering a Grant for the some of the renovation and we are looking for more to help with the water connection & other expenses.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Peter Wanders (Wanders Shoe Shop) has been campaigning to have our Drinking Fountain renovated over the last 4 years. With the help of Heritage of London and our local associations, we have an opportunity for this to happen. If we all can adopt small changes we can have a big environmental impact - like refilling reusable bottles with tap water, instead of needlessly buying new single-use ones. All our "thirsty" community + local walkers and dog owners will benefit from having the fountain working again, not forgetting bringing back to life this wonderful monument as it is part of Barnet's rich heritage.
