Good to meet you Polly Toynbee and thank you for the article (and nice shot of me!). But it is completely incorrect to say councils don't cooperate. We at Merton put £12k into this and loved working with Heritage of London Trust. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Thankfully the Guardian has published my letter about how Merton Council supported this initiative, working with the brilliant Heritage of London Trust theguardian.com/culture/2023/m…
Cllr Eleanor Stringer Heritage of London Trust #Mitcham had a working water fountain in 1897, built in honour of Queen Victoria's Dimond Jubilee. When Merton Labour came in it fell into disrepair - the pipes supplying the fountain as empty as the promises made to nurture #CivicPride #RediscoverMitcham
