Burnham-On-Sea residents left fuming over beach 'barbecue vandals'
Angry
residents in Burnham-On-Sea have been left fuming after parts
of their garden fences were pulled down by partygoers to provide
fuel for beach barbecues earlier this week.
This
was the scene on Burnham beach near Allandale Road after leaflets,
bottles and pieces of wood were left strewn over the sand following
the night-time barbecues.
 Local
resident John Palmer told Burnham-On-Sea.com how wooden stakes
had been removed from his fence for the third time this year.
"It's
almost unbelievable that people would pull apart a fence to get
fuel for their barbecues, but that is exactly what happened earlier
this week."
He
added: "We've already had to spend around a hundred pounds
to keep getting the fence repaired."
Another
nearby resident, Jim Spottiswood, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "It
is very sad when this happens. A lot of visitors use this area
to get onto the beach and this is not good for Burnham."
"On
this occasion, several fence panels and a lot of tourist leaflets
have been used as fuel for a barbecue."
