Tighter security after arson attacks
Security has been stepped up around a derilict building in a bid to keep out arsonists.
Two fires were started deliberately this month at the former St albrights old peoples home, on the corner of london road and new farm road both in stanway. Both blazes started late at night on a sunday and took firefighters over two and a half hours to put out. They were both inside the building itself, causing substaintial damage.
A high wooden fence had been put up around the building last year after intruders set a number of small fires in the grounds.
After the latest two incidents, colchester councillor Lesley Scott-Boutell (lib Dem, Stanway) said something needed to be done before the building was destroyed.
She had a meeting with the developer and planning officials to discuss the site.
"the police went back to the site and resecured it, particually the enterence points. There will be a greater security prence, and police will patrol more regularly".
She sais that she had been inside the property and the "main fabricof the building looks fine"
