Residents are currently facing a large number of changes in
the way in which Bath is policed and CCTV will play an increasingly important
role in the deployment of limited resources.
With this in mind we are working
with other members of the CCAG to create a fund to buy new CCTV cameras and
expand the network.
Our initial priority is to extend coverage north of George
Street which is an area that attracts more than its fair share of anti-social
behaviour and drug dealing and also provides an escape route for troublemakers
in the rest of the city centre.
We have already had offers of support from
local business and will be lobbying the local authority and the Police and
Crime Commissioner to match our efforts to increase the safety and security of the city centre.
