Collier Row CCTV Consultation


As you will know, following a successful campaign by your Residents Association, the Council have finally brought forward plans for CCTV in Collier Row, something only the Residents Association campaigned for during the last local elections.

In order to get the system right and cameras in the correct locations, council staff are now undertaking a CCTV Consultation day on Thursday 5th July at Collier Row Library between 10am and 4pm. For people who are unable to attend, questionnaires will be available at Collier Row Library. If you can not get along to the Library, just drop me a line and i will be able to post or e-mail you a copy of the questioner.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to establish the areas within Collier Row town centre that are of greatest concern to local businesses and residents.

In a statement, Council officers said;

All responses to this questionnaire will be given careful consideration alongside other available crime and disorder information. All efforts will be made to meet the needs of the community, however it may not be possible to meet all expectations as the funding available is limited.

Please note the installation of CCTV cameras is a complex and lengthy process. We will, however, be working to keep the disruption to the town centre to a minimum.
