A FARMER fed up with constant flytipping is pressing for CCTV cameras to be installed along the country lane concerned.

Bill Barr says the problem has been a weekly occurrence along Hogg End Lane in St Albans since the road was closed to through traffic three years ago because of bridge work associated with the M1 widening project.

Bill, who owns Butlers Farm along the lane, said: “It happens every week without fail. Obviously where lanes have been shut because of bridge work it makes a nice little run with no cars going up and down and they can just tip up without anyone noticing. Sometimes it’s in the middle of the lanes and you can’t get past.”

He said when rubbish was dumped along the road it could take anything from two days to two weeks for the council to remove it.

Even worse said Bill, who is the county chairman of the National Farmers’ Union, was that asbestos was often dumped on his land which meant it became his responsibility and it cost him hundreds of pounds to remove it.

Bill is so fed up with the problem that he is now pressing for cameras to be installed along the road as a deterrent to the flytippers.

He said: “It is a problem in the whole country but in this affluent area of the south east it is even more of a problem as people pay somebody to get rid of rubbish. Most people don’t realise, they just give somebody £100 to take their rubbish away but the first place they find out of St Albans they tip up and go. It’s an easy way to make money.”

A district council spokesperson said that the lane was checked regularly and that any rubbish was cleared as soon as possible.

With regards to the camera, she said: “The council has a mobile CCTV camera for monitoring flytippers, but there are many flytipping hotspots in the district. We have recently upgraded our mobile CCTV camera and for this reason it has been out of commission for several months. We are now actively analysing flytipping incidents to ensure that we deploy the camera in the most effective and efficient way, and in the most prolific flytipping sites around the district.”

If anyone witnesses flytipping they should take as many details as possible such as registration numbers of vehicles and locations and contact the council on their hotline number 084… or email the details to clientservices@stalbans.gov.uk

The shots are suggested to show the accused Sean Mercer, cycling up the street on his bike; leaving the area of the shooting.

Another camera caught a gunman moments earlier - also in dark clothing and on a bike.

It is thought a puff of smoke, circled in the video, is where one of his bullets landed.

Further CCTV shows two other youths on bikes cycling away from the area who are thought to have been the gunman’s intended victims.

Rhys’s mother Melanie cast her head down as the jury once again saw the moment her 11-year-old was gunned down.

Sitting still beside her, husband Steven watched the young football fan walking across the car park of the Fir Tree pub in Croxteth, Liverpool, last August.

It is the Crown’s case that after Rhys was shot, Mercer fled the scene on his silver Specialized Hardrock mountain bike to a friend’s house, and was later driven to Melvin Coy’s warehouse in nearby Kirkby where he was washed with petrol.

Coy’s barrister admitted that a Ford Galaxy, shown on CCTV on the night Rhys was killed, belonged to Coy, 25, and was driving to his business premises.

Coy, of Abbeyfield Drive, West Derby, denies assisting an offender.

Three detectives from Merseyside Police told the court Coy’s industrial unit was searched by officers with search warrants to find firearms, ammunitions, mobile phones and “related items”.

During the 75 minute search they found two petrol canisters on the floor and a white van locked inside the building which also contained another petrol canister.

Cell Site analyst John Tarpey said Gary Kays, 25, phoned Coy from somewhere near Fazakerley Hospital at 7.42pm - 14 minutes after Rhys was shot.

Kays denies assisting an offender by disposing of the gun and the killer’s clothing. Four other defendants deny assisting an offender.

A woman was filmed by CCTV cameras dumping a puppy in a Nova Constantia road.

She is seen arriving in a BMW at the top of Muscat Lane South before getting out and looking around yesterday.

The puppy is put on the road and, as she drives away, the abandoned Boxer-cross pup dashes after the car and then stops, staring forlornly after it.

The car was later seen heading along Spaanschemat River Road towards Ladies Mile.

Jacqui Wright, who lives in Muscat Lane, said the car’s registration plates showed different numbers in front and at the back, possibly to avoid speed traps. The front was CA 21199 and the back CA 2099.

Her husband Ray Wright, who recorded the footage on a number of security cameras he was testing, said he intended laying abandonment charges with the SPCA and would notify the police about the number plate modifications.

He told Weekend Argus more and more people were dumping pets in their street, which was a cul-de-sac and not close to any busy roads.

The Wrights’ neighbours are taking care of the pup until a good home can be found.

If anyone can help they should contact Marilyn Hoole of Tears at 083 651 6343, who said the organisation had recently taken in 11 abandoned puppies.

A SECRET meeting between TV3 star John Campbell and one of the men charged over the theft of historic medals from Waiouru War Museum was caught by a hotel security camera and helped police make arrests.

The controversial Campbell Live interview was screened in February, just months after two west Auckland men allegedly forced their way into the museum and stole 96 medals including Victoria and George Crosses.

TV3 was forced to admit it had made a “mistake” by not informing viewers the screened interview featured an actor and was a re-enactment based on the covert meeting.

At the time of the interview TV3 defended its decision not to tell police the identity of the man interviewed, saying news organisations had a duty to protect sources.

Campbell said he had been wary of giving too much away on the programme as it may have led to police identifying the man.

He said the discussion with the man was not recorded by TV3 using video but instead with an audio device.

“We didn’t have him on camera because he had anticipated and we had anticipated precisely what happened yesterday that the police would turn up,” Campbell told the Sunday Star-Times days after the interview.

But today it can be revealed the Campbell Live crew was unknowingly captured on closed-circuit security cameras in the lobby of Auckland’s exclusive Duxton Hotel, site of the secret meeting .

TV3 had arranged to meet their source in broad daylight, one street away from Auckland central police station and in the presence of at least three security cameras.

It has emerged detectives probing the medals theft seized the security footage from hotel management.

That footage is expected to be shown to jurors at the trial of the two men, who have both been charged with one count of burglary. Their names remain suppressed.

Asked about the police seizing hotel footage of Campbell’s meeting with the accused medal thief, TV3’s head of news and current affairs Mark Jennings yesterday slammed questions as “bull***t journalism”.

“This is a very long bow to make and I suggest you had better be very sure of your story,” Jennings said.

He said he was “unsure” whether the interview took place at the Duxton but a hotel spokeswoman confirmed it was frequently used by TV3 staffers and Campbell had been there several times.

It is unclear whether TV3 or the interviewee suggested the Duxton as a location.

Asked whether he anticipated his star host would be called to give evidence as a Crown witness, Jennings responded: “It is a possibility I suppose but I don’t think that will happen.”

The detective heading the inquiry was reluctant to comment on whether Crown lawyers would call Campbell to testify on his meeting.

“You need to appreciate that we cannot compromise our investigation,” Detective Senior Sergeant Chris Bensemann said.

“This is very delicate but yes, this will be part of the court case.”

The officer said four full-time staff were still working on the operation, travelling between Auckland and Palmerston North.

Meanwhile, details have emerged for the first time of the prosecution case against the two men charged a fortnight ago.

Sunday News can exclusively reveal how Operation Valour detectives believe the pair broke into the museum.

Police allege the two accused left Auckland on Saturday, December 1 last year, and were given a speeding ticket at Cambridge just after 6pm.

Two hours later in Wairakei they are alleged to have refuelled at the BP service station. Police say they continued south, approaching the back of the museum at 1am.

The pair then allegedly repositioned two floodlights illuminating the back of the building - one downwards, the other pointing up.

Detectives allege that plunged the museum into darkness, allowing the men to begin removing the national treasures.

A 10mm hole was allegedly drilled into a fire-exit door, into which they attempted to push a 4mm threaded rod to press an emergency button and unlock the door.

That was unsuccessful so they allegedly moved to a second-floor fire exit.

Police allege 10 minutes after arriving at the museum, the duo began removing screws from the frame of the window but eventually the glass was smashed instead.

The rod was again allegedly used to poke through a set of metal security bars which activated the emergency exit switch allowing entry.

Police believe the two then ran down the stairs into the Valour Alcove where they smashed cabinets and removed the decorations.

Just after 1.12am the pair then allegedly left through the fire exit at the south-eastern corner of the museum the same one they allegedly initially tried to open.

Police say they then drove back to Auckland where the medals with an estimated value of $5,470,000 were placed in an inner-city storage unit registered in a false name.

In February, high-profile Auckland barrister Chris Comeskey brokered a deal which saw the medals returned to police.

On Tuesday last week the 96 decorations were finally returned to the museum in a formal ceremony arranged by the military.

The two men charged with the burglary appeared at Auckland District Court on Friday where they were remanded in custody to reappear at Wanganui District Court at the end of the month.

Mumbai, October 23 : A day after Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav demanded the arrest of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leaders for their violence that allegedly caused the death of Pawan Kumar, a Bihar native who was in Mumbai to take the Railway Recruitment Board exam on October 19 when he was run over by a train at Andheri station, closed circuit television camera footage now narrates a different, more sordid story, about the suburban railway in the financial capital.A recording from the CCTV, being monitored by the Railway Protection Force (RPF), shows a train leaving Platform No 1 towards Virar, at 6.18 am. Once the train passes, Pawan can be seen lying on the tracks. A few minutes later, another train approaches and then glides past the injured Pawan who is still partly on the tracks, right next to Platform No 1.

A coolie approaches Pawan, but stops as another train (at 6.31 am) approaches.

In effect, three trains ran over the youth, whose legs, officials confirmed, had been severed in the accident. According to the rulebook for railway staff, when such an accident occurs, the train must not move until the victim is carried away.

Hi-tech CCTV cameras costing about £209,000 are being installed to tackle crime in a Berkshire borough.

The 10 new digital cameras, which will be sited across Windsor and Maidenhead, come after complaints from local residents about anti-social behaviour.

Councillor Jesse Grey said: “The locations have been prioritised in response to local feedback.”

The council also plans to upgrade most of its 120 existing CCTV cameras to digital - at a cost of about £240,000.

The council claims the change from analogue to digital will make the footage more useful for the police because it will be of better quality and easier to access.

Mr Grey added: “The new system will mean we can replace the current recording to VHS tape with digital recording that is faster to use when police are searching for specific incidents and meets the require standards for use in court.”

The council said the new digital system would be much cheaper to run and would save money in the long-term.

Police are examining security camera footage from streets and businesses in Motherwell, where the 29-year-old’s body was found dumped in woodland on Sunday.

Officers hope to establish whether Mr Taylor, who was released from Saughton Prison at 10am on Friday, was seen alive in the town or his body was taken there.

Detectives are understood to be considering one theory that Mr Taylor was abducted in Edinburgh before being killed.

They are also believed to be investigating whether the murder was part of an ongoing gangland feud or if it may have been a punishment attack for a previous crime.

Mr Taylor is not believed to have died instantly in the attack, which was described by police as “brutal and sustained”.

It is understood that Mr Taylor, who was found wearing only shorts, had been assaulted with a variety of different weapons and the lower half of his body had been set on fire.

Mr Taylor was a former pupil at Portobello High School and lived in the nearby area until his late teens with his dad, George.

He previously worked with his sister selling ice cream from a stall in Princes Street, but later drifted into housebreaking and shoplifting to fund a drug addiction.

Mr Taylor, who formerly lived at addresses in the Wester Hailes area, was serving a two-year sentence for housebreaking when he was released six days ago.

One school friend, who asked not to be named, said: “I was shocked when I saw the photograph of James on the front of the Evening News.

“We were good friends at Portobello High but we lost touch. I had no idea what he was doing then I suddenly heard about this.

“I’m sure lots of his old friends will be upset. It’s horrible that this happened to him.”

Two youths found Mr Taylor’s body at 5pm on Sunday in a wooded area beside Nethan Street in Motherwell.

It is understood that his body was so badly burned and beaten that he had to be identified by his tattoos.

It is also understood that officers plan to interview inmates at Saughton Prison as part of their inquiry.

Mr Taylor was reportedly found by 14-year-old Daniel Cerretti.

His mum Anne-Marie, 42, said: “He was out with his pals playing in the woods. They were going to make a trench, and that’s when they came across it. I am gutted such young kids found something like that.

I am just hoping Daniel won’t be traumatised by it.”

Westminster city council in London decided Friday to paint over guerilla-artist Banksy’s largest work in the city.

The council ordered the removal to send a message to graffiti artists.

Robert Davis, deputy leader of the council and chair, told BBC News, “If you condone this then you condone graffiti all over London.”

Banksy, who conceals his identity, is famous for his political and satirical street art. His works have been found everywhere from the Gaza Strip to New Orleans.

The seven-metre-tall mural being removed depicts a child painting the words “One Nation Under CCTV” on the wall. A dog and police officer holding a camera are painted next to the graffiti artist.

Closed-circuit television, or CCTV, has gained widespread use in the United Kingdom to monitor people in public places. Its use has raised complaints about invasion of privacy.

The mural is painted on the wall of a building shared by Royal Mail and another business.

In 2006, Bristol city council allowed residents to vote on whether to paint over one of Banksy’s works. Results were 97 per cent in favour of keeping the mural.

An auction Thursday at Bonhams raised about $706,000 for Banksy’s works.

Earlier this month, Banksy opened The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, his first installation in New York City. The exhibit features chicken nuggets with legs dipping themselves in sauce and an aged version of Tweety in a birdcage.
