Manchester’s iconic Chinatown pagoda is set to be ‘improved’ following ‘extensive damage’ caused by vandals.
Last month, the pagoda was trashed by a vandal, who also made off with four ornate statues that were attached to it. Three have subsequently been recovered.
Due to the scale of the damage, the pagoda will be closed off for ‘a while’, council insiders have told the Manchester Evening News . The repair job will require broken railings and fences to be taken away from the site to be fixed.
