One of the main attractions at a Lanarkshire playpark has closed again after needing yet more repair works carried out.
The Craig and Mini Craig parks at Ravenscraig cost around £3.7 million to install and only opened last August.
And in October 2021, we told you how the kids' play area was already needing repaired, barely two months after opening.
A popular feature of the park is a large slide which begins at the top of a tower where youngsters can climb.
But visitors last weekend were disgruntled once again to find the slide had closed to the public.
It's understood the reason for the park's closure this week is due to parts of the external safety netting needing repaired.
The tower chute and climbing frame has since been fenced off and not available to access by locals.
However, North Lanarkshire Council is expecting the repairs to be carried out promptly and has provided an update on the situation.
A spokesperson from North Lanarkshire Council told Lanarkshire Live : "The tower within the Mini Craig play park at the Craig has been temporarily closed whilst some minor repairs to the external secondary safety netting are carried out.
"We expect the tower to re-open on Friday, July 29. All other parts of the Park remain open."
Last year the playpark at Ravenscraig was closed twice for repairs to be carried out and to make improvements to the chute's structure.
The local authority have apologised for any inconvenience caused as they work to re-open the attraction in the coming days.
