New play equipment for children has been installed at a play area hit by an arson attack.
Youngsters visiting College Close in Stamford will now be able to enjoy the multi-play climbing frame tower, rocking log, springy bike and the single step log, which all suffered fire damage in June.
The rubber mulch safety surface and wooden fencing destroyed in the fire have also been replaced by South Kesteven District Council.
Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture at SKDC, Cllr Paul Stokes, said: “This play area is open again and we are pleased to have been able to get the repairs and replacement equipment in place.
“The Council provides assets like this for the benefit of local communities and to help the younger generation to be active, enjoying their outdoor play.
“It was a shame that somebody chose to disrupt such a large area here, including the conifers growing nearby.
“SKDC decided to take positive action at the time, by increasing anti-social behaviour patrols – something we will continue.
“A lot of hard work has gone into restoring this area and we would also ask the public to remain vigilant by reporting any future issues.”
