Collett Park in Shepton Mallet has seen the installation of a replacement bridge, a positive development following the unfortunate arson attack that damaged the park's play equipment in July.

The attack had occurred shortly after the park's play area had undergone a significant revamp and was reopened for public enjoyment.

In connection with the arson incident, an individual has been arrested and subsequently released on conditional bail while investigations continue. This development brings hope for justice and resolution to the act of vandalism that affected the community.

The police are continuing their investigation into the incident and are appealing to the public for additional information. They urge anyone with knowledge about the arson attack who has not yet spoken to them to come forward. Information can be shared by calling 101 and quoting the reference 5223164140.
