Council bosses say zip lines missing from two popular playparks in Perth are being mended and will be put back soon.

It comes after concerned parents complained online that slides at both the South Inch and North Muirton had been taken down over the last two weeks.

It went on for a long time and then it kind of died down and it went back out again.” Carly continued: “I have had messages from girlfriend­s or wives of men that have seen my pictures on their phone and they have then messaged me threatenin­g me for having an affair with her other half and I have no idea who their other half is.” Carly, who has won twice on the Ladies European Tour, also revealed she had experience­d people contacting her through social media pretending to be celebritie­s.
