Sisters say they will chain themselves to trampoline to stop it being removed

A pair of sisters say they will chain themselves to a children's trampoline to stop it being take away by their local council. A health and safety row has erupted after residents clubbed together to buy the £600 piece of equipment for children to play on.

The council said it can't risk the implications of someone being injured, but the residents said they offered to sign a document taking responsibility for safety. The latest development reportedly saw four officers from the council attempt to remove the equipment on Wednesday.

Mum Melissa Jamie and sister Katie Carter were out all day in protest, telling the officers: "If you touch the trampoline, you'll have to pay us."
