Repairs to Ramsey’s war memorial have yet to take place, after a ’substantial crack’ was found earlier this month.

The town’s commissioners have received a report on the issue.

A cordon is currently in place around the cross, after an architect deemed the crack had probably compromised the memorial’s structural integrity.

Repairs were scheduled to begin last week, but officers told the board they were waiting for a conservation expert from Manx National Heritage to assess the structure.

It’s hoped work will begin this week.
