Southampton fountain filled with bubbles by pranksters

Pranksters have filled the Civic Centre fountain with soapsuds.

The fountain outside Southampton City Art Gallery was full to the brim with bubbles today.

It is believed the fountain was targeted on Friday night or the early hours of Saturday morning.

Passer-by Chris Nunneley snapped a photo of the soapy scene at midday.

He said: “It’s a bit of amusement provided for Sotonians on an otherwise dull Saturday.

“May I add bubbles not produced by me.”

Chris shared the photo online, and residents shared their concerns that this would ‘encourage the council to turn the fountain off again’.

Others said the sight ‘put a smile’ on their face.
