Brockham bonfire is to go ahead after it was set alight last night in what is suspect to be an arson attack.

Residents said they saw youths throwing fireworks at the bonfire after which part of it caught alight.

Fire crews arrived on the scene around 6pm and managed to salvage the 25 ft tall bonfire.

The bonfire will be lit at its proper time of 7:45 tomorrow night after a procession through the local village.
