Someone said yesterday of the local spate of fires that such things come in threes – that certainly appears to be the case as in the early hours of Saturday, 29th October 2016 a car was set on fire deliberately in a wooded area near Clayhanger Bridge, Brownhills.
This follows the other fires this week at the former Terrace Restaurant and the stables near Whitehorse Road.
