Oldbury community centre gutted in arson attack

A former community centre in Oldbury faces demolition after being gutted in an arson attack.

Up to 40 firefighters battled the blaze at Langley Hall in Vicarage Street last night, which was set to be taken over by the Langley Islamic Culture Centre.

Crews battled flames from 1.30am to 6.30am, but the building was destroyed in the attack.

Bosses at Sandwell Council say it is now likely to be demolished.
