In Perpetuity Memorial Maintenance.
  The
long term regular, routine maintenance of the Combined Operations Command
Memorial has been secured
in a recently signed "in perpetuity" agreement between the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA)
and the Combined Operations Memorial Fund (COMF) at a cost of £6,135.09.

The non-routine
maintenance, refurbishment, development and improvement of the memorial
structures will remain the responsibility of the COMF.
Regular Routine Maintenance Agreement (NMA)
Under the
agreement, the memorial footprint and its
immediate surroundings will be maintained to a good
standard in perpetuity by the NMA. For accounting purposes, the agreement has been calculated over 20 years
at a cost of £25.56 per month or £306.75 per year or £6135.09 in total.
To allow the agreement and the maintenance
work to take immediate effect, the NMA has been paid in full through an interest free loan
accounted for on the
COMF
webpage.
Occasional Structural Maintenance (COMF)
The COMF remains responsible for the repair
and maintenance of the
dedication plaque, large stones, mosaic, mosaic wall, trees, crushed
slate, information display board and any future developments or
improvements to the memorial.
