A climate change protester has been given a fine after he climbed on a 100ft crane for two days last year.
18-year-old Alex Sidney broke a chain to get on to the structure on the 7th of November, and hung banners promoting Extinction Rebellion.
He's now been told to pay £45 in compensation for the broken chain and £100 in court costs, after appearing at Norwich Magistrates Court today.
