Improvements to City Centre CCTV network

Consultation is taking place regarding proposed locations for 24 new CCTV cameras and 30 CCTV camera upgrades in various parts of the City Centre to further improve the network’s coverage and to help people feel safer.

The expansion follows Cabinet’s approval for the proposals on 14 December to help plug gaps in coverage and improve the quality and reliability of the CCTV network, as well as help residents, visitors and workers in the City Centre feel safer.
