a water leak from the fountain occurred in november 2008 and as a result it was only switched on for special occasions and maintenance. after a £300,000 restoration in 2010 the fountain was turned back on. the work also involved the installation of a new multi-coloured lighting system. after another leak occurred, the water was turned off in 2013 to save costs. as of 6 july 2015, the main pool was filled with soil and bedding plants and no longer functions as a fountain.
