The 'Floozie' was designed by Indian sculptor Dhruva Mistry and it cost £3.5m. It was unveiled by Diana the Princess of Wales in 1993. Around £300,000 was spent on restoring it in 2000, while repairs cost £70,000 in 2009 and then £40,000 three years later. It was turned off in 2013 and then transformed into an elaborate flower display two years after. Birmingham city centre is set for a £25 million regeneration, which include bringing Victoria Square's famous 'Floozie in the Jacuzzi' back into use. Proposals to improve the city centre as it prepares to welcome around half a million more visitors to the city during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will be discussed at Cabinet on 29 October.

With the students away there is plenty of room to sit on the lawn in the summer of 1993.
