Hi According to a press release from the London Mayor's office in October 2018, the Mayor planned to set up a network of hundreds of free public water fountains across busy areas of London, including the TfL network, and a £5m fund was set up to facilitate this. At the time of the press release, the locations of 20 fountains were also announced. This is the release: https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/5m-fund-for-hundreds-of-public-water-fountains-8 Please could you tell me: 1. how many fountains have been installed in total? 2. how many have been installed since this press release/ announcement? 3. how many of those are still functioning? 4. how much of the £5m fund has been spent? 5. how many people applied by the deadline of Dec 7 2018 to 'host' a fountain? 6. how many fountains are expected to be installed this year?
