Closed circuit television is to be installed on North Quay.

Council Leader David Christian (pictured), Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee, said, "With the regeneration of the North Quay, and the area rapidly becoming a major entertainment and leisure zone for the capital, extending CCTV coverage to the locality has become a priority.

"The Council fully supports the use of CCTV as it helps protect the public, acts as a deterrent to antisocial behaviour and footage can be used in Court to bring criminals to justice. 

"We have also been encouraged to learn that our partners, the police, have indicated they would be in favour of monitoring the CCTV coverage “live” at weekends.

"The latest surveillance technology will be used, where one intelligent moving camera delivers the performance of roughly 20 of the older CCTV units.

"Additionally, subject to funding being available, the Council’s Parks section will be looking at installing a similar system in Noble’s Park to reduce incidences of vandalism, such as those that have occurred at the skate park in recent months."
