CCTV to safeguard speed cameras
View at BBC
Speed cameras in the Scottish Borders may soon be monitored by security cameras to protect them from vandals.
It is among the measures being considered by the Lothian and Borders Safety Camera Partnership.
There have been seven camera attacks in just three years, with machines being set alight, damaged or pulled over.
Cameras on the A68, A1 and the A697 in Berwickshire have all been targeted prompting the partnership to look at ways of increasing security.
Colin McNeil, who heads the group, said that each attack had a significant impact.
'Every time it happens it is inconvenient, it is costly and it is a crime,' he said.
