March 2022 - Upgrade and renewal CCTV and ANPR assets - Project completed
BID-wide
At the outset of a new, five-year term, the BID seeks to upgrade and renew its stock of CCTV and ANPR assets.
A rolling programme started in 2022, providing more reliable CCTV coverage and data, which informs police investigtions into criminal behaviour and acts as a deterent. The ANPR cameras were 5 years old and parts were not available so have needed replacing and where possible we have replaced old cameras with 4-point CCTV dome cameras
Subject to available funds, the BID provides grant funding to individual estates and businesses in the BID area to install their own, additional CCTV cameras so we can collrectively improve coverage. This is conditional on:
a) cameras facing public areas such as car parks, roads and pavements, and
b) the footage being available to the BID on request, for example when needed by the Police to investigate a crime in the BID area
