Council plans to repair damage to lighting column
BBCMarks and cracks on a recently installed illuminated sculpture in the Manx capital will be repaired after the TT festival, Douglas Council has said.
The 20ft (6.3m) Three Legs of Mann bracket, mounted on a 39ft triangular column, was put up last month on a roundabout in front of the Sea Terminal.
A spokesperson for Douglas Council, which commissioned the £36,000 project, said marks on the lighting column had been due to both wear and tear from parts being in storage for a "few years", and the installation process.
The council said it planned to repair the marks and cracks, as well as re-paint the column, once the capital's roads were less busy after TT.
The council spokesperson said the illuminated sculpture was part of the Douglas Promenade regeneration scheme which had also involved the Department of Infrastructure (DOI).
Douglas Council said it paid to install the feature due to the wider project not being completed.
BBC News has contacted the DOI for comment.
