CCTV cameras on cycle path to fight anti-social behaviour
The move is said to deter “nuisance” riders from using scrambler motorbikes and quad bikes on the upgraded cycle routeThe Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council has announced that it will be investing more than £40,000 to install CCTV cameras at an upgraded Teesside cycle route in a bid to deter anti-social behaviour.
The works also included replacing restrictor barriers with chicanes compliant with cycle and active travel infrastructure guidance issued to local authorities, to make it more accessible for wheelchair users, along with the likes of mobility scooters and people with pushchairs, Regarding the upgrade works, Philip Chisholm, who rides an adapted cycle to help disabled friends and family, said:"The Lines is amazing now. It’s wonderful for disabled carriages or even a very long bike, and a 100% improvement on what it was before.
He said: “Illegal motorbike use is a perception, there’s a lot of fear-mongering around it which may not actually reflect reality. Often the barriers are put in as an automatic sort of thing when paths are built and not in recognition of whether there's a problem or not. I know this area very well. I know that we don't have a motorbike problem here and the benefit of removing the barrier far outweighs any risk of anti-social motorbike behaviour.
No idea, but they better have 'em pretty high up / inaccessible or that'll be multiples of 40000 quid...
