A recently replaced zip wire in a park in Dursley has been targeted again for the second time in one week.

Dursley Town Council revealed the news that the zip wire at Highfields Play Area had again been put out of action on their website.

Originally, the seat on the zip wire was chewed by a dog.

The council then spent around £300 to fix it, however it was targeted and broken within one week.

On their website they said: "The first seat was removed because of similar damage. From local reports, it appears that the seat is routinely being used as a 'chew toy' by a large dog.

"This is really disappointing given the new seat was installed to get the equipment back in use ready for the school half-term holiday."

The Chair of Green Spaces, Cllr Alex Stennett said: "The thought that there is an out of control dog in any play space scares me. Children of all ages use that area so how long will it be before someone gets seriously injured?

"Highfields Play Area is popular with dog walkers and the majority are very responsible owners who respect the space, picking up after their dogs and keeping them under control."

The council then revealed that they are looking for anyone that may have information about the incident.

"We are appealing for help from the local community and for witnesses to report anything they may have seen in relation to the damage which, this time, we believe occurred between 15th-17th February 2019. People can contact the Council confidentially," the appeal said.

"If you witness people or dogs causing damage to play equipment in Highfields Play area or any of our other play areas, please contact the Police or Dursley Town Council Office on: Tel: 01453 547758 Email: clerk@dursleytowncouncil.gov.uk"
