We were woken up in the early hours, or I should say I was woken up by Ellie scratching at the side of the bed to tell me something was wrong. I guessed it was because of Barney, but not at all. Instead lights were flashing and when I looked outside two fire engines!!
Ellie could probably smell the burning. This time a car and a Salvatori lorry set alight. Mal went out and was talking to all the neighbours. It really is time the Police sorted all this out. Other cars were damaged by the flames.
We had Barney the retriever staying overnight and he was as good as gold. Ellie and Barney had a good chase around the cricket pitch.
I complained about the fire to the local councilors and they told me who to contact as we no longer have a PCSO. Later a special constable was knocking on all our doors to ask if we heard anything before the fires!! I did have a bit of a go at her as this is the third time cars have been set alight. I should say one mans cars have been set alight, a fact they are well aware of! Her reply was “we are only the foot soldiers” yes and we are only “potential victims”.
Mal has talked to some of the neighbours and is compiling correspondence to the Chief Constable.
