Two yards is all we ask : How moving the CCTV camera could protect the community fridge

The team behind the community fridge have asked Mendip Council to move the nearest security camera so that it can get a view of the door which has been repeatedly smashed.

The current CCTV camera is only a small distance from where, if it was moved, it could capture any vandalism.

Previously there had been some disquiet about recording people who may be accessing the fridge and were perhaps not keen on being recorded.

But after repeated break ins, although on the last three occasions, nothing has actually been taken, there has been a rethink.

Organiser Terri Pitts told Nub News: " The police would then be always able to see the front of the fridge. It has cost us £75 to replace the glass - again - at the front.

"Now we have had enough and we just need that camera moved over just a little bit and hopefully that will stop this happening."
