Last month it was chiming an hour behind the displayed time, but this appears to have now been fixed.

It's thought power cuts may have been to blame.

Meanwhile we understand the electrics are to be examined to try to get the clock faces illuminated at night again– and possibly fix outside lamps too.

The council has also recently acquired specialist cleaning kit that, we understand, is safe to use on listing buildings, and there are hopes that the bottom few metres at least could soon be in line for a spruce-up.

Whether the whole tower can be cleaned, however, appears to be in doubt due to height complications.
