Palmerston North's clock tower base is fenced off for repairs after vandals destroyed glass panels. The cost of restoring the vandalised glass wall at the base of Palmerston North’s clock tower will be more than $100,000. “We won’t be commenting further on any potential evidence while that investigation is under way.”David Unwin/Stuff The clock tower on Te Marae o Hine needs a $100,000 repair to its base. Nearly 20 years on from installation, the wall structure supporting the bricks was also in need of strengthening. The glass wall has been a popular spot for classic Palmerston North souvenir photos and has been lit in various colours to support charities and events, including to mark Anzac Day.
