The centrepiece of a South Ribble children’s playground is to be replaced - more than a year after it was destroyed by two fires.
The two-shute tower slide at Withy Grove Park in Bamber Bridge was set alight twice in the space of a fortnight in August 2022. It had been hoped that the popular attraction could be saved and repaired, but parts of the structure were so badly melted by the heat of the blazes that it had to be dismantled back in January. South Ribble Borough Council was told that the play feature - which was installed in 2007 - was no longer manufactured and so could not be replaced like-for-like.
However, the structure - to be delivered by play specialists Kompan - will also include around 30 other features across its eight levels, like climbing equipment, viewing platforms and a fireman’s pole. A megaphone also forms part of the blueprint - a prospect which a meeting of South Ribble’s planning committee heard had initially caused alarm amongst the authority’s environmental health team, because of the noise it could cause.
