Peace and harmony was restored to St Ives in Cambridgeshire after workmen removed the traffic cone from the iconic statue of Oliver Cromwell.

It’s not the first time the statue has been adorned with a traffic cone, and probably not the last, but for now the cone’s time is up.

It appeared a few days ago and attracted criticism from newly elected MP Ben Obese-Jecty.

“In St. Ives this morning and it’s disappointing to see the statue of Oliver Cromwell with a traffic cone still on top of it,” he posted to Facebook.

“If we want our town centre to thrive we have to address the small things that could make it a better place for people to visit as well as the bigger issues.”

But the MP and former Army officer – whose newly created constituency also includes Huntingdon and Godmanchester – was criticised for lacking a sense of humour.

Dozens flocked to social media to advise him to ‘lighten up’ but today the authorities swung into action and removed it.

It is with much sadness and regret that I must inform you the traffic cone on top of Oliver Cromwell statue in St Ives, Cambridgeshire has been removed. Here's to the next time @BenObeseJecty ( who complained this time) pic.twitter.com/it0GVgOxaM

And thanks to Sandra, who took a video of the moment, CambsNews can share the cone’s removal.
