A MOBILE CCTV camera is to be deployed in Ripon to target hotspot areas for anti-social behaviour and crime. Ripon City Council has this week agreed to purchase the surveillance equipment which its leader said will act as a “significant deterrent” against “frustrating” levels of crime seen during the third national lockdown. Speaking at a meeting on Tuesday, Cllr Andrew Williams said: “We have witnessed in recent months problems with anti-social behaviour across the city. “Thankfully the pressure that this council has brought to bear upon the relevant authorities has led to a significant improvement. “But I do think it would be helpful in terms of supporting police efforts generally across the city, and reinforcing the point that the city council and city as a whole won’t tolerate anti-social behaviour, that we have a mobile CCTV camera.
