Following investigations by the fire service, it has been confirmed that the fire at St James Park last night was accidental.

While the exact cause remains unknown, the incident originated in an area used for waste storage. The fire service has ruled out an electrical fault as a cause.

We are extremely grateful for the many messages of support and offers of assistance from local businesses and the wider community.

Cleanup work is already underway, and we would like to thank everyone involved for their swift response and support.
