After nearly six months of fundraising and pleas for assistance, the Featherston Community Patrol has finally got its security camera - and the car to go with it.
The 23-strong volunteer group - who up until now had been using their own cars to patrol - won a $3000 security camera in June, but were told that they could only claim the prize if they had a car to secure it to.
An anonymous donor got them started with a $1500 donation, locals chipped up through donation boxes around town, and the Featherston Lionesses came to the party with a substantial donation.
"If it wasn't for the Lionesses' support it wouldn't have happened," said patrol chairwoman Trish Burgiss.
Mrs Burgiss said the security camera has already come in handy, capturing the registration numbers of boy racers in particular which they are able to pass on to police.
