00:01Security fencing is to be installed around Sunderland's closed National Glass Centre after attempted break-ins.
00:07The university, which owns the site, says the barriers will help stop vandalism, unlawful entry and potential injuries.
00:15The centre closed at the end of July because it needs major remedial work, estimated to cost in the millions.
00:22Councillors have approved the plans for hoardings for three years.
00:25One councillor raised concerns that temporary barriers could become effectively permanent with the building's future unresolved.
00:33Planning officers say the hoardings will provide flexibility as decisions about the site continue.
00:39The university says the measures are for security and safety.
