CCTV EXPANSION DUE to the collaboration of BID with the council and police, we are pleased to announce that instead of the cessation of CCTV monitoring during weekdays, there will continue to be a service operated by volunteers and managed professionally. The intention is that this service will be expanded over the coming year to become a five-day service.This is an additional service that would not have been possible without the new collaborative approach, and is addition to the limited service provided by the council.
