Will The Council Ever Fix This Fountain?

The newsletter normally only focuses on positive things across the town, but I noticed this has been broken for months and doesn’t look like it will be repaired anytime soon. It is becoming a bit of an eyesore.

Weather ⛅️ 

Here is your 5 day forecast for Warrington. It's a mixed bag, but it’s staying quite warm.

Monday - ⛅️ 13° - 8°
Tuesday - ☁️ 14° - 13°
Wednesday - 🌧️ 18° - 12°
Thursday - ☁️ 16° - 11°
Friday - 🌧️ 14° - 9°

Sport 🏉 

⚽️ Warrington Town 2 - 1 Radcliffe. We finally broke their seven-game winless streak with a 2-1 win at Radcliffe. Josh Amis came off the bench to score the winner after Josh Miles equalised, sealing the Yellows' first away win of the season.

🏉 Wigan vs. Hull KR. Okay, it's not Warrington-related as such, but I don’t know one Warrington fan who was cheering on Wigan to win in the final. It was a low-scoring final (I watched it with a St Helens fan), and there’s no doubt Wigan deserved to win, but we both wanted them to lose.

Thanks 👍️
