* The submission of the proposed upgrading / relocation of the horse fountain to Heritage WC (HWC) is being finalised and comment from HWC is expected by the end of 2024
* The re-alignment of the road will then commence with funding from RIM
* The recommendation is that the horse fountain be stored in a safe space until the dispute, to decide on responsible department, is concluded and funding is secured
* Cllr Mohamed has indicated that this is a long outstanding matter and therefore is hoping to have a resolution by the end of 2024 where he will then escalate and move ahead with the plans – Ald Kempthorne is in agreement and will defer to the Ward Cllr on this matter.
