Council forced to install CCTV to protect listed 15th century hall plagued by vandals
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA Grade II* listed hall in Manchester that has been repeatedly vandalised will have enhanced security, including CCTV in a bid to keep it safe.
Clayton Hall is a 15th century building with a moat that is currently used as a Living History Museum by the Friends of Clayton Park.
There have been a series of security issues and serious vandalism incidents at the hall which have demonstrated the need for improved security, according to documents submitted to Manchester council.
This is why the council has proposed works to include six CCTV cameras, two motion detectors and two horn speakers in order to deter future vandals coming to the Ashton New Road site.
