When Kingston announced the CCTV
Well, here’s the first announcement Kingston Upon Hull City Council made about the CCTV - consultation about the positions of over 250 cameras:
The Hull city wide CCTV system, one of the biggest worldwide, takes an important step forward today (Tuesday 30th April) with the unveiling of up to 250 sites where the cameras need to be located.
Residents, community groups, local police officers along with council members and officers took part in a major consultation to find out which areas of the city could benefit the most from CCTV.
They nominated their top priority areas for CCTV and this information, along with detailed analysis of areas where there have been incidents in the past, has led to the production of a citywide ‘map’ highlighting 240 proposed sites for cameras. The main targets of the system are burglary, vehicle crime, violent crime, disorder and public reassurance.
