Residents in a Nottinghamshire village have been left with a feeling of unease after a building and four cars went up in flames at a showroom in what is now the second fire at the site in the space of a year. Firefighters were called to the incident at Lowdham Cars, in Lowdham Road, just after 3am on Sunday, August 7.
Nottinghamshire Police cordoned off the garage but the main road has remained open. The MOT and servicing garage is owned by Mark Hassan and Melanie Hibbitt, who spoke to Nottinghamshire Live back in January when a building containing a soon-to-open cafe and gift shop burned down in a suspected arson attack.
At the time Mr Hassan said they had "spent thousands on it and it was just four weeks from opening". It was believed the fire in January was started deliberately.
