THE fountain in Vivary Park, Taunton, has been restored to its Victorian splendour after a magnificent makeover.

Cllr Catherine Herbert, Taunton Deane Council's portfolio holder for parks, sports and leisure, said Vivary is the jewel in Taunton’s crown.

She added: "It is a fantastic green space in the heart of the county town. Our staff work incredibly hard, helped by the Friends of the Park and other volunteers, to make it the fabulous place that it is."
