A log bridge which forms part of the BMX track in Poulsome Park was set on fire and as a result it is no longer fit for purpose.

Police say a number of disposable barbecues were found leading police to think the damage may be accidental and the BBQ's may be the cause.

Police would like to speak to the persons who had the barbecue in the park, and anyone else who was in the area at that time.
