A three-foot tall security ‘robot’ is issuing loud warnings to walkers on a field in Bury. The security unit is close to a public footpath, off Scobell Street in Walshaw.
Dog walkers and those enjoying the green space close to the compound have been shocked by a wailing siren and a metallic ‘Dalek’ voice stating ‘Warning -your presence has been detected’ before a further warning that ‘police have been informed’.
The area, which was until recently green belt land, has been re-allocated for a massive housing development of 1,250 homes in the coming years as part of the Place For Everyone strategic plan.
