I confirm that lightning protection was installed recently to protect the folly and that the condition of the folly continues to be monitored. In the event of any essential repairs being required, these will be undertaken. In addition, consideration is being given to the provision of a CCTV security system around the folly to combat vandalism.

However, as indicated in replies to similar questions from the Deputy on the same issue, I confirm that major works are not planned for Connolly's Folly at this time.
