Colin James Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Finally, we have some good news following on from our campaign for CCTC on the GWW. Installation work for the new CCTV on the Hunderton Bridge has begun. A tree to the one side has been removed, I assume to give a better view but a lot more clearing up needs to be done. There are so many overgrown trees and bushes, there is almost a canopy in some parts making it dark during daylight hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megilleland Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 How is this camera going to see under the bridge where the attacks took place? Is there going to be more than one camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin James Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 How is this camera going to see under the bridge where the attacks took place? Is there going to be more than one camera? There will also be some mobile cameras, however, this once mounted on its pole will show people both sides I would imagine Martin.

Irena Sulecka Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 More than one camera is needed but this is a good start for sure, well done Colin 👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungospoon Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Good news that this is finally happening. Still wont feel safe going along it when dark, especially late at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenda Powell Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Funny how they are installing the CCTV a couple of weeks after the meeting, Colin has been asking for CCTV along the lines for a number of years. I have also been fighting for this and where the council didn't put it in when I asked them to, and I had to go to the commissioner of police for the money as the then local councillor for the area. Again after getting the money and it was given to the council last November, it has taken 10 months for the council to install it. If it had been installed when I asked for it to be done in January this year, the possibility of Christian not losing his life and another assault two months later could of been avoided, the police also agreed with me at the meeting that if the CCTV had been installed there was a very big possibility it would of shown the person who did the stabbings.

Bill Thomas Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 This is long overdue and we need at least 3 camera along the whole length of the lines. Trees and high bushes need to be cut back and that canopy needs opening up like Colin has said. They need to make this a nice open space instead of all the shadows that criminals can hide within. More lighting would help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin James Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Just to prove that it is all working. And we have a bobby on the beat Infrared camera, not bad at 0145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.Wilson Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Good to finally see one of the cameras is operational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 As a matter of interest do we know the cost of installing this ...is it just one camera? The IR quality isn't bad so I just wondered if there are any restrictions/objections on HV running a campaign to raise funds for additional cameras if funding is an issue?

The IR quality isn't bad so I just wondered if there are any restrictions/objections on HV running a campaign to raise funds for additional cameras if funding is an issue? There is more than one camera installed. There will also be several police mobile cameras which may remain hidden and their location not revealed, which I think is a good idea.
