Prison Skills Centre restores memorial bench

It was damaged after being hit by a car

A memorial bench in Douglas that sustained serious damage when it was struck by a car earlier this year has been fully restored by the Isle of Man Prison Skills Centre.

Located on South Quay, the bench commemorates Jake Watson, who died aged 14 following an asthma attack.

Jake's Mum, Lea Watson, says she became aware of the damage through social media.

The driver of the car who reversed into the bench left without reporting the incident.
