West Ashland Fire crew were called out to a fire in Bletchley last night (23/7).

The brand new play equipment on Eaton Avenue in Bletchley, was set alight last night.

The play equipment was brand new and yet to be used by the public.

In a post on Facebook, West Ashland Fire Station said: "As the school holidays start It's such a shame that someone decided to set this brand new play equipment alight in Eton Avenue Rec, Bletchley last night.

Arson is never a victimless crime, hopefully the damage can be repaired in time for local children to enjoy it this summer."
