Request to go in for CCTV at Wooler bus station

At Monday night’s meeting, PC Phil Jack reported the incident, already known to members, which saw toilet roll from the public toilets set alight, leading to a fire which damaged the bench in the shelter.

PC Phil Jack, neighbourhood beat manager for Wooler, said that he had spoken to a number of young people, ‘many of whom were there, but none knew who had done it, if you know what I mean’.

Chairman, Coun Robert Donkin, said that the mural, designed and created by some of Wooler’s young people about four years ago, was okay, but a patch of wall in the corner was black – “I don’t think we can do anything about that,” he added.

There had been less activity since, it was reported, but a request will still be made for one of the county council’s redeployable cameras.
