LETTERS – Fountain should be memorial

So it would seem that the council will go to any lengths to prevent the return of the fountain to its rightful place, despite what the town wants.

The reason given is that the buildings surround it have been torn down and replaced.

It should be noted that the buildings were destroyed by Hitler’s bombs and on that devastating night the fountain remained as a beacon of hope.

Also it should be remembered that Spalding people were killed that night including a 15-year-old boy.

So the return of the fountain would act as a memorial to these civilian deaths.
