A Ward 1 Councilor is calling for security cameras to be placed in parks around the municipality in the wake of recent vandalism.
Mark Authier is fed up with the expenses Chatham-Kent taxpayers are forced to pay out when vandals strike.
The most recent example in Wallaceburg at Glen Mickle park when a restroom was vandalized.
The damage estimate from that one act was between 3-5 thousand dollars.
Authier believes security cameras would be cheaper in the long run and wants them installed in Wallaceburg, Erieau, and Tilbury.
Council will discuss the matter Monday night.
