The Indy is saying that the 53-ft Ultrasauros (fictional dinosaur) that was installed on Southsea Common at the end of July this year has burnt down. The suspicion is that it was arson.
Gerald Vernon-Jackson, the leader of Portsmouth City Council, is quoted as saying, “I don’t know who did it, but the question has been asked of me that it survived the whole of the summer but within a week of the students returning to university it’s been burned down.
“We were wondering whether we could keep it permanently because it was such a popular thing but it looks like that won’t be possible now.”
