Massive fire: Wheelie bin lorries and Scout HQ destroyed
A MASSIVE blaze involving thousands of Rother council's new wheelie bins has also destroyed the adjoining 9th Bexhill Scout HQ.
Two delivery articulated lorries parked next to the temporary store set up in Wainwright Road car park to distribute bins to 40,000 Rother homes as part of its recycling project were destroyed in Sunday night's inferno.
Householders in Reginald Road whose homes overlook the car park had to be evacuated as gas cylinders in the lorries exploded. Police cordoned off Reginald Road, Wainwright Road and Beeching Road as 10 fire crews tackled the blaze.
