 The ''cotton bud'' fountain in St Ann's Square has been condemned as being ''stinking and stagnant''.

On the day it was switched on by Tony Blair in 1996, crowds had expected sparkling jets of water - but saw only a trickle.

The fountain in the Corn Exchange has been criticised for being stuffed with food paper wrappings most of the time.

And the Brazennose Street fountain has not worked properly since it was opened 14 years ago.

not sure what hours they keep .....when they feel like it I suppose !!   :-\
