Every city in the UK has town centre CCTV , it is essential for the protection of residents, businesses and acts both a deterrent and way of apprehending criminals. It has become a basic necessity. Why do our Councillors prioritise £40,000 on consultants for Ty Pawb over providing CCTV cover for the protection of the city’s residents and visitors. A few weeks ago in a Council meeting they were discussing the value of new seating with integrated mobile phone charges in the city centre and how it would aid safety, surely CCTV is a far superior aid to safety. CCTV is for everyone’s benefit and should come from the central budget , not just four town centre Community Councils.
