A new Christmas tree has appeared in Scarborough town centre just days after the one originally installed was vandalised.

The original tree was pulled down overnight last Friday after officers confirmed it had been damaged by vandals.

The replacement tree, protected by CCTV, will be part of the town's Counting Down to Christmas event which kicks off with the lights switch on on Thursday.
