never mind about getting the floozie flowing again...maybe councillor ian ward should try to secure some funds to save the golden lion pub that is still languishing in cannon hill park...just goes to show how much the powers that be think this building is historically worth to the city of birmingham...disgraceful

'Floozie in the Jacuzzi' fountain set to flow in Birmingham again

The 'Floozie' is set to return to the city centre after the eagerly-anticipated - and somewhat divisive - Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market leaves the city

I don't think the £1.7 billion Transforming Cities Fund where the money has been obtained from goes as far as repairing listed buildings whatever we would like. Lets face if it did this all over the UK it would be gone within 5 minutes of the scheme opening. Lets just get the money and rectify (hopefully) one of Birmingham's landmarks.
 
yes phil i realised that...my point was that instead of councillors raving about things like the floozie being repaired maybe they should try and secure some money to save the golden lion before it really is too late although i think its a case of out of sight out of mind now

Yes Lyn you know I agree with you entirely, but I am only glad that at least we are getting something done about one feature of Birmingham that I have always thought its predicament to be a disgrace. Over the years Birmingham has seen many water features come and go and in several of those cases water leakage has seemed to be the cause. All these features for one reason or another seem to have now disappeared from the face of the earth.
 
yes i agree with you phil...lets hope once its repaired it lasts a long time...have to say i do like any water features...they have a calming effect and lets face it that is what the centre of birmingham needs right now
