On Saturday 25th June the Folkestone Harbour Fountain was switched on.
Folkestone Harbour Company spokesman Trevor Minter said, “We are confident that our plans will make a significant improvement to the harbour environment by introducing an interactive fountain which local residents and visitors will be able to enjoy, and where children can play. We are in the process of consulting local
people about our plans and work should be completed by the summer.”
The new feature forms part of a general improvement programme that is taking place at Folkestone Harbour, including the construction of the two new restaurants, all of which is designed to make the area more attractive to local people and visitors.
