Belfast Telegraph Home > NewsBallyclare needs CCTV cameras to stop thugs and vandals ruining the town centre, according to local Assemblyman Paul Girvan.
Thugs have wreaked havoc in the town in recent weeks, toppling flower planters on the streets and throwing them into the nearby Sixmile River.
Shop windows have been smashed and local businesses targeted by robbers.
Mr Girvan, a Democratic Unionist politician, says that CCTV is a crime-reducing option community representatives and other local politicians should be taking seriously.
"Cameras are something that I think every town centre should have," said the south Antrim MLA.
"I will be pushing for CCTV installation at council level to ensure that we stop these vandals running riot in the centre of Ballyclare."
