Roses in bloom, with in the background another apartment block which has been hit by a spate of petty arson on the Gascoigne Estate. Somehow no one has been caught, and luckily no one has been hurt, so far. MP Margaret Hodge know about it, the Essex police know about it, the Essex fire service know about it, the arsonist knows about it; couldn’t they have a chat and sort it out?
