Work to restore Machynlleth’s war memorial to its former glory is nearing completion, contractors have said.

The memorial has been undergoing renovation and restoration work after Machynlleth Town Council was officially confirmed as the owner of the memorial.

That led to the council appointing contractors to carry out work to restore the memorial.

September’s council meeting heard that work was due to be completed at the start of this week after slight delays following rainy weather.

Cllr Jim Honeybill said: “I’m sure we all look forward to seeing it in its newfound glory.”
