Bearing in mind the mess that the environment services and waste collection are in I can't see much happening with the fountain bearing in mind that the Ealing Council Environment Services supremo Keith Townsend is also responsible ultimately for the fountain! To quote Ealing Today's newspage : In a news release - issued prior to the problems - Keith Townsend, executive director of environment and customer services, said: “Making Ealing a cleaner place to live is one of the council’s key priorities, working with Enterprise we will be working to improve standards even further. “I would like to thank residents for their continued commitment to recycling helping recycling rates to improve year-on-year. There is now very little that can’t be recycled from home and I would encourage everyone to cut the amount of waste going to landfill by making full use of all the recycling services available. “We are doing our utmost to ensure refuse and recycling collections continue to run smoothly but we would ask for residents’ patience as the new contractor takes over.” This does not auger well for either the fountain or the waste collection services: Keith Townsends' idea of patience seems to run to years (in the case of the fountain) rather than days! |
