The slide in Clissold Park Playground N16 has been stolen!

[avilon]

Around Christmas, I noticed work being done in my 2 year old's fav playground - in the heart of Clissold Park in Stoke Newington. Yestarday, we went there for the first time this year, and were shocked to see the new structures they errected with our tax money - instead of the two exciting wooden structure with a slide in the middle of the big sand pit, there is now a weird one, with no slide, allowing kids to just climb up, use those silly fake binoculars, and climbing down again. There's also an addition of classroom-like charts stuck to it saying things like "what is the weather today?", probably making the first contribution for the toddlers socialising skills...
Can anyone tell me why they took my daughter's favourite slide away? Have more than usual kids been killed recently by falling onto the soft sand? does it's diagonal shape represent something offensive for some religion or sect? or am I missing some other grave violation of safety or politically explosive issue? do you know?
I dont know how to start a petition, but if you care as well, please voice your opinion here!
thanks

there is a notice on the gate, showing the new apparatus they're installing - the slide is to follow, if you look at it.
