Douglas Council to charge for memorial plaque renewal every ten years

It'll come at a cost of £85

New memorial plaques in the Garden of Remembrance in Douglas will now only be in place for 10 years. 

There will be an option to renew them, at a charge of £85 every 10 years if someone wants them to be kept, otherwise Douglas Council will remove them after the initial decade. 

A plaque currently costs £197.90 and those purchased, until now, had no end date. 

The local authority has confirmed older plaques won't be removed.
