Arsonists target public bins near Morecambe Town Hall

Public bins in Morecambe have been targeted by arsonists and will cost a council £1,000 per unit to replace.

A fire was deliberately started in the recycling bins in the car park next to Morecambe Town Hall earlier this week.

"The blaze caused significant damage to multiple collection units — a key facility for residents to recycle responsibly," said a post on the Lancaster City Council Facebook page.

"Not only were some of the bins destroyed and others damaged, we have had to remove melted plastic which had fused to the tarmac.

"This is not the first time that a collection of bins have been targeted, and will again cost us £1,000 per unit to replace.

"Bin fires are not just acts of vandalism, they are dangerous."
