Man outside primary school "was not" taking pictures of children

Comment on this story

FEARS that a man was lurking opposite a Derby primary school taking pictures of children have been allayed this lunchtime.

Four pupils at Hilton primary school reported seeing a man pointing a camera in their direction opposite the school field yesterday lunchtime.

However CCTV footage confirms the man was taking pictures of a cracked windscreen in the Village Hall car park.

Parents and police were informed last night of the reports but headteacher James Hilton said there was no longer a need to be concerned.

He said: "It turns out that a tractor churned up a stone and that cracked the windscreen of a car. CCTV footage at the Village Hall shows the man was taking pictures of the damage."

He added that the pupils were right to report their concerns and that he was relieved the incident turned out to be a false alarm.

Hilton



Notes: Hilton village is situated on the old Derby to Uttoxeter road. Hilton village has several pubs including the 15th century Old Talbot inn and the more modern Hilton Hotel. The present village hall opened in 1989, and a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in the Main Street was built in 1841 and is still a thriving place of worship. Hilton has recently expanded into a large commuter village populated by people working for Toyota, Rolls-Royce or commuting to Derby, Nottingham or the West Midlands, and although the local school is being expanded to be able to manage with the new numbers, other local services are struggling to cope.


Transport: Regular buses run from Hilton to Derby and Burton upon Trent. There is no railway station at Hilton, the nearest being Tutbury, Willington or Burton. Taxi - Mickleover Cars Sutton Lane Industrial Estate, Sutton Lane, Hilton, Derby, DE65 5FE
