cytine   40 #1 Posted November 5, 2014 As the title suggests Bonfire Night started at about 0330 in High Green. I believe 3 cars 1 council van and some wheelie bins were set on fire. 3 people have lost their cars, the council (i.e Taxpayers) have to replace the van and the wheelie bins. Add to that the cost of the clean up, the cost of the Fire Service and the upset and inconvenience it has caused. If anyone knows who the brainless morons are that started these fires please contact the police. Next time it could be your car/property. They must be caught before it gets more serious and someone gets hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My point is that someone has to pay for this mindless act of arson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cytine   40 #5 Posted November 5, 2014 Whereabouts in High Green was this? Regards  Doom  It was in the cul-de-sac just down the hill from Hurst Green, off Cottom Rd. Not sure if it comes under Hurst Green or if it has a different name. (Hope that gives you an idea). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
