Specially-adapted minibuses destroyed in fire

Seven specially-adapted minibuses used by people with disabilities and schoolchildren have been destroyed in a fire.

Police and Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service crews were called to Silk Mills Park and Ride in Taunton just after 19:50 BST on Saturday.

Nobody was hurt in the incident but the minibuses, which belong to Somerset Council, were destroyed at the compound in Bishops Hull.

Avon and Somerset Police said it is investigating the incident, which it said will have a "significant impact" on vulnerable members of the community.

The force said it wants to hear from anyone with dashcam footage from around the time of the fire, or who may have seen anyone "acting suspiciously" in the area.

Both park and ride and school services are expected to run as normal on Monday, but people are advised to check @TravelSomerset on X for updates.
