KINGSMEAD councillors are investigating if the obelisk in the village is an official war memorial.

Kingsmead Parish Council now owns the title deeds to the land around the sculpture, on Kingsmead Spine Road.

It has contacted the 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment to see if it has any documentation to indicate whether it is an official monument.

The council is also looking to clean it up and plant up flower beds for spring.
