CCTV to tackle anti-social behaviour on Bilton's mural bridge
CCTV will be installed on Bilton's Iron Bridge to tackle anti-social behaviour and vandalism on a recently painted mural.
Conservative HBC and NYCC councillors for Bilton, Matt Scott and Paul Haslam, are behind the initiative which will be trialled for a month beginning in early September.
In March, a colourful mural featuring flowers and foxes was painted by artist Emma Garness to become a beacon of positivity in the area.
The mural has been well received by local residents but has been the subject of vandalism, despite being daubed with anti-graffiti paint.
The CCTV camera was recently used in Ripon to tackle anti-social behaviour. It has a wide-angle lens so can also capture nearby areas such as the garage block on Woodfield Close.
