A man is furious after council 'killjoys' removed a novelty elephant slide from his driveway because angry neighbours complained it was a 'monstrosity'.
Trevor Robinson was left 'heartbroken' when he was forced to ditch the former piece of play-equipment from the front garden of his semi-detached home in Gillingham, Kent.
Locals had moaned to Medway Council that the 20ft-long fibreglass elephant nicknamed 'Ellie' was 'dangerous'.
He rescued the slide after he spotted sub-contractors preparing to remove it from a nearby leisure park and said it is loved by children and their families.
The retired dock worker told MailOnline: 'I collect quirky items, that's the sort of guy I am. And she was a new item. I enjoyed having it there. It looked different.
