ARSONISTS struck twice at a play area in Bradbury Road last night.

Firefighters were called to Bradbury Road at 7.05pm where they found a small refuse fire on the play area which the fire service says was started deliberately.

The crew was then called back to the same play area at 8.05pm to deal with an identical fire.

Police also attended both incidents on request of the fire and rescue service.

Anyone with any information about these incident is urged to call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or Cheshire Police on 101.

UPDATE NOTE: The fires took place at the children's play area in Bradbury Road, not the playground at Willow Wood Primary School.
