Vandalism-struck
Highbridge storage building being dismantled
 Work
got underway on Tuesday (March 17th) to dismantle a disused storage
building in Highbridge that has been struck by arsonists and vandals
during recent years.
The
property, situated next to the railway line at the rear of Somerfield
supermarket, is being completely removed following negotiations
between Sedgemoor District Council and Somerfield, which owns
the land.
Burnham-On-Sea.com
reported last
July how two Burnham fire crews had been called to the scene
to tackle a suspected arson blaze at the property, pictured below.
And
last November a task force of councillors, police officers and
council bosses visited the building during a 'grot spots walkabout'
when they recommended the property be removed, as reported
here.
Reg
Winslow of Sedgemoor District Council told Burnham-On-Sea.com:
"We held discussions with the land owners and they have been
very good in agreeing to get it demolished. Hopefully, this will
resolve the problems here."
