A rare example of community spirit caught on CCTV has been released to the public.
Good Deed, Nice Lads
In what one councillor called a ?remarkable? example of public-spirited behaviour, up to five young men were caught on public video surveillance repairing a bike stand that had been damaged by a car hitting it.
The footage was recorded at around 3 a.m. on the streets of Boston, Lincolnshire, and released by Boston Borough Council this week. The damage to the bike stand had been reported to the council, but by the time council workers came to repair it, they found the job had already been done.
Peter Hunn, Boston Borough Council’s principal community safety officer, said:
We recorded the whole sequence. At first two lads had a go and then encouraged others to help. At one point five were pushing and pulling. To look at the bike rack now you would hardly know it had been damaged.
