Damaged Burmantofts CCTV to be reinstalled

March 2, 2009 12:00 AM

CCTV cameras damaged in arson attacks last year are to be reinstalled by Leeds City Council.

The cameras situated on the Torres in Burmantofts were damaged in two separate arson attacks in August 2008. It will cost £20,000 to reinstall the CCTV which will be jointly funded by the Local Area Committee's Wellbeing Fund and East North East Homes.

Cllr David Hollingsworth (Lib Dem, Burmantofts and Richmond Hill) said:

"I am extremely happy that these cameras are to be reinstalled in my ward. Since their removal residents have begun to feel vulnerable and unsafe. There have also been increased reports of crime and anti-social behaviour in the area."

"Therefore it is vital that these cameras are put back in to help tackle these problems and put people at ease."
