Save the Mazda Electric Fountain 2017

We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to keep the Mazda Fountain in Victoria Gardens

The Mazda Electric Fountain, given to the town in 1930 by Thomson-Houston Ltd following an exhibition. This fountain has stood on Victoria Gardens for 87 years.
A fine example of 1930's architecture. It has the potential to be restored to its former glory and would be another fine tourist attraction for Brighton.
It is much-loved by the residents of Brighton & Hove; many of them have lovely memories of it in their younger days & they would be distraught to see it vanish. We love our fountain. To some it may appear ugly but for most of us it's beautiful, as is the little tardis-type hut with its art deco glass design that houses the working of the fountain.

This ePetition ran from 07/06/2017 to 26/06/2017 and has now finished.

1072 people signed this ePetition.
