Two new ideas are being put forward to fund security cameras in Silsden.

The town's parish council wants to place two cameras in Kirkgate in a bid to cut crime.

It has been told that Bradford Council does not have the money to pay for the project. Now councillors may seek cash from Europe as part of a new pot of money that has been created.

The parish council also has the option of asking all the town council taxpayers to share the cost, with a small extra charge on residents' bills

Charlotte Stannard, who is co-ordinating bids for the new Euro grants, said the project might qualify for some money but criteria which bids had to meet had not yet been agreed.

She said any grant would have to be matched with funding from the community, but this could include people's time and effort.

The closed circuit televisison project could win funding if it showed that crime or fear of it was preventing Silsden people from going about their normal lives.

The cost of installing a system in the town has been estimated at around £30,000, plus a yearly amount for maintaining the scheme.
