A picnic bench which was installed in Alderley Edge Park last summer has been destroyed by fire.
Firefighters were called to the scene just before 10pm on Thursday, 2nd May, and used a hose reel jet to extinguish the blaze.
Friends of the Park had the picnic bench installed opposite the children's enclosed play area in June last year, part of the funding for which came from an anonymous donor.
It was designed to be tough, vandal resistant, virtually maintenance free and a splinter proof alternative to timber.
PCSO Jim Newns is currently investigating this incident and anyone with any information should contact Wilmslow Police on 101.

Time to pull up the drawbridge !
In the great scheme of things, a burnt park bench is not earth-shattering BUT don't arsonists always go on to 'bigger and better'?
So those who know the person/s who did this need to give them up to the police...next time it might be a house... a house with people inside?
If you know who it was, please don't show 'loyalty' to the moron/s.
I followed up my complaint a week later to see what progress had been made.i was told nobody at Cheshire police had looked at the CCTV and they weren't going to as the property owners hadn't complained.So what chance have you got with that sort of attitude.
To me the police are as much of a problem as the scum.
