Brighton and Hove water fountain locations are mapped

Now, as part of plastic free July, Brighton and Hove City Council is promoting its fountains as a “simple way” that everyone can help reduce single-use plastic waste.

The six fountains provide residents and visitors with “easy access” to free drinking water.

Water fountains and bottle filling points can be found at the following locations:  

• Hove Lawns 
• Hove Lagoon skate park 
• Churchill Square  
• the North Gate of the Royal Pavilion 

Bottle filling points are also installed in front of Hove Town Hall and outside Brighton Station.

Each of the water outlets is sterilised daily but the council asks users to get in touch if any have been damaged or vandalised.  

 “Unnecessary plastic waste has a serious impact on our local environment,” said councillor Trevor Muten, chairman of the transport and sustainability committee.

“Single-use plastics affect our seas, parks and open spaces by polluting habitats, endangering wildlife and contributing to climate change.   

“We must work together as a city to minimise plastic waste. This includes council-led projects like our drinking water stations as well as efforts from businesses, communities, and individuals.”
