A children's play area has been slammed for being worse than Chernobyl by raging residents.
Pictures showing children's play apparatus in a derelict state were recently posted online, sparking outrage and disgust by local residents in Chelmsley Wood, North Solihull.
The widely circulated images show rusted and broken metal structures, sitting among overgrown grass.
Some of the equipment is barely recognisable as playground items.
Facebook users who live locally were quick to liken the playground to the city of Pripyat where the Chernobyl nuclear disaster took place.
After the disaster, the entire city population was forced to evacuate to escape the radiation which encompassed the region and the city, which is still unoccupied, fell into a derelict state.
