Butler's Barber Shop at Market Place was damaged in the early morning arson attack.

Two people had to be evacuated from flats above Butler’s Barber Shop at Market Place after a wheelie bin was set alight and pushed up against the shutter at the front of the property at around 2:50am.

Tanya Butler, who only opened her business eight weeks ago, praised firefighters and police who responded to the incident, saying they did “a brilliant job.”
