Drinking water in parks
I think we have all noticed all the taps in public parks and streets however none of them seem to be working? I think we should make them useful and actually get them to work. During summer we get really thirsty including our pets and sometimes we don’t always have shops available near us or even money on us. We are surrounded by so many statues and water taps which have all become useless and just rotting away. Having more free water available will not only make us more healthier but it will also be very good for dogs, people who exercise, little kids and even wild animals like birds and squirrels. Summer heat can be difficult for humans but it’s just as same for animals. And some parks do have drinking water but it’s only one in a massive park or rarely any.

Show full commentBrilliant idea! ... I spent a few years living in Sydney and this is very common there - there are drinking water points in most of the parks and beaches - it's really helpful, and it reduces societal expense (people being forced to buy water, when they would prefer tap water) and pollution (plastic bottles being thrown away).

Community Member 4 years agoYes exactly!! It’s really good in every way possible. Also I haven’t even seen any tap water in the U.K. at the beach. Hopefully we can take after Sydney. Thank you for your comment 🙂
