Mersea beach huts badly vandalised

To be honest, if we posted every time some idiot bashed up a beach hut you'd be sick of reading about it (as well as the oxygen of publicity theory). But the damage at Mersea last week is too bad to be ignored: around 30 were vandalised and four burned to the ground. As Juliet Doyle from Musings From A Muddy Island writes: "It's not only infuriating and worrying for islanders and desperately sad for the owners, but also completely baffling."
