PLANS to fix the fountain at Tuck’s Plot in Dawlish have been delayed but the town council insists it is still determined to get it back up and running.

Over the last year, the council has been working on a project to maintain and repair the fountain which has been a popular feature of the area near the seafront. 

Work should have taken place in mid March to bring the fountain back into working order. 

A spokesman for the town council explained: ‘Unfortunately, the contractor employed was unable to complete these works.

‘We frequently get asked when the Fountain at Tuck’s Plot will be fixed and we want to let you know that this project has not been forgotten.

‘We are now in discussion with contractors and working towards a new date to get these works complete.’

Timing of the work has to take into consideration and weather and the location of the Black Swan cygnets and other water fowl.
