Funding agreed for new CCTV cameras
New technology replacing old, outdated system
It’s hoped that 16 new state-of-the-art CCTV cameras will be up and running in Eastleigh town centre by the end of March.
They’re being erected after £50,000 funding was agreed from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
The new technology is replacing the old, outdated system which is no longer fit for purpose.
Council Leader, Keith House, said: “The safety and wellbeing of residents and visitors is always a priority for the Borough Council.
“It’s good news that the Police and Crime Commissioner has delivered on funding for modern CCTV cameras which will be a real asset in the police’s lead role on community safety – something we are keen to continue supporting.”
