Fire on Burton Common Lane
Oliver Tate writes:
"All the straw was baled and stacked dry, the ‘burnt’ looking bales stacked to the side are from the top of the stack and receive the worst of the rain and cannot be sold and are used to bed down the pigs instead. This was not self combustion, someone has taken a match and great pleasure in setting the stack alight. Its not just the money lost but the countless hours and late night/all night shifts to get the crop baled, transporter and safely stacked which is the biggest kick in the teeth …
If anybody has any cctv covering burton common lane and the rest of village and has picked up any suspicious vehicles/people around 15:00 I would be very grateful for this to be passed on.
