Disgusting And Disgraceful State Of Fountain - Clean It Up And Repair It, NOW!
Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park的点评
点评：For a number of years now, the disgraceful state of the fountain in Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park, has been a real bug bear. After visiting Lady Dixon Park with my two daughters at the recent Rose Week, it prompted me to contact Belfast City Council Parks Department to express my disgust at it.
The water in the fountain is either black, brown or green (probably algae), it is constantly filled with litter and is NEVER switched on. What is the point of a fountain that is never switched on? This is no good to neither man nor beast. In regards the fountain head/spout, when it is rarely switched on, this is pathetic and an embarrassment and as I mentioned in my e-mail to Belfast City Council, my solar powered bird bath in my garden has a better jet flow.
What was the point of having all the events at Rose Week, if Belfast Parks Department cannot clean this fountain up and switch it on? Me and my daughters are regular visitors to England and some of the beautiful parks there, mainly in the south of England, but one park that does stand out and is an example of how to do it, is Stanley Park, Blackpool. This fountain is amazing and a joy to spend some time at, having a packed lunch.
The whole of Lady Dixon Park and Wilmont House (that is another bug bear and another disgrace how this has been left to rack and ruin) was gifted to the people of Belfast by Lady Dixon when she died, to the old Belfast Corporation (now Belfast City Council), what an insult to her memory, to let this fountain go to rack and ruin, I'm sure her descendants are disgusted at this. When someone gifts you a beautiful area such as the grounds of Lady Dixon Park, show a bit of gratitude and treat it with pride, love and dignity, not with the blase, couldn't give two hoots, this fountain is an inconvenience attitude.
I received the usual stock reply from Belfast City Council, that my complaint would be sent on to various relevant departments, one of which is - the City and Neighbourhood Open Spaces Street Scene!!!! Eh? What on earth is this pointless quango when it is at home? I expect some type of reply that will be an insult to my intelligence, on the lines of cutbacks, staff shortages blah blah blah. I also mentioned, that I did not expect them to replicate the Trevi Fountain in Italy, just a half decent fountain head/jet, like the one in Stanley Park, Blackpool.

翻译：多年来，托马斯与迪克森夫人公园里的喷泉一直状况糟糕，实在令人堪忧。最近的玫瑰周期间，我带着两个女儿游览了迪克森夫人公园，这促使我联系贝尔法斯特市议会公园管理部门，以表达我对其现状的强烈不满。
喷泉里的水不是黑色、棕色就是绿色（很可能是藻类），里面总是充斥着垃圾，而且根本从未开用过。一个从来都不开启的喷泉有什么意义呢？这对人和动物都毫无用处。至于喷泉的喷嘴，由于很少被开启，显得十分可悲且丢脸；正如我在给贝尔法斯特市议会的邮件中所说的那样，我家花园里那个太阳能驱动的喂鸟池喷出的水流都比这个强。
在“玫瑰周”期间举办那么多活动，又有什么意义呢？如果贝尔法斯特公园管理局无法清理这个喷泉并让它重新喷水，该怎么办呢？我和女儿们经常去英格兰旅行，也参观过那里的许多美丽公园，主要集中在英格兰南部。不过有一个公园格外引人注目，堪称典范，那就是布莱克浦的斯坦利公园。那里的喷泉相当出色，在那里带着便当享用午餐真是一种享受。迪克森夫人去世后，整个迪克森夫人公园以及威尔蒙特宅邸（这又是一个让人头疼且丢脸的问题——那里竟被任由荒废破败）都被她赠予了贝尔法斯特的民众，也就是当时的贝尔法斯特市政局（如今的贝尔法斯特市议会）。任由这座喷泉荒废破败，实在是对她的纪念的一种亵渎；我敢肯定她的后代对此也深感愤慨。当有人把像迪克森夫人公园这样美丽的地方赠予你时……请心怀感激之心，以自豪、爱护和庄重的态度来对待它，而绝非抱着漠不关心、毫不在乎的态度——毕竟这个喷泉并非什么“碍事之物”啊。
我收到了贝尔法斯特市议会惯常的套话式回复，称我的投诉会被转交给各个相关部门处理，其中就有一个部门叫“城市与社区户外空间及街道景观处”！！！呃？这个毫无作用的半官方机构到底是干什么的？我估计他们给出的回复只会是对我智商的侮辱罢了。就是关于预算削减、人员短缺之类的问题。我还提到，我并不指望他们能造出像意大利的特雷维喷泉那样的杰作，只要有个像布莱克浦斯坦利公园里的那种还算像样的喷泉头/喷水装置就行了。
