How do you keep a 4 and a 5 year old entertained when dragging them out shopping? Answer :- Anything you can even if it means letting them run around the iconic mother and child fountain in the middle of Basildon Town Centre. I am sure we could get in trouble for this given that the fountain is grade II listed!!! Woops. The bronze statue by Maurice Lambert was unveiled in 1962 and forms the central part of Basildon Town crest. It originally cost £4,000 yet a refurbishment in 2009 apparently cost around £33,000 - so now we know why our council tax money goes up each year!
