A police spokesman said: “The alarm was raised at 3am on Sunday December 23. The camper van was parked on a driveway at Foxfield Cottages close to its junction with Andrews Road. No one was hurt.

“Subsequent examination suggested the fire was started deliberately and police are keen to speak to anyone with knowledge of the incident.”
