The newly created square at the side of the town hall was officially opened on Wednesday and much-vaunted fountains turned on, much to the delight of children who splashed around in the water.
The fountain has 30 nozzles and the jets of water can be illuminated by LED lights and have programmable nozzles to create beautiful displays.
A public event for the plaque unveiling and naming of the square is planned for next month.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
