I AM sure regular patrons of Fountains Café at Southampton’s Civic Centre will be very sorry to learn of a forthcoming change of management.

Those with a long memory will remember the café before it was transformed by the present tenant eight years ago into the well run establishment we know today.

With attentive staff, rapid service, nicely prepared food, spotlessly clean and an air of orderliness about the place, I trust the incoming tenant will keep it as it is – and please no noisy steam-fed chromium plated Italian coffee making contraption.

C NOBLE, Southampton.
