Gorleston will spend the £96,000 government grant it recently received to tackle neighbourhood crime with the use of CCTV. 

 

Great Yarmouth Borough Council, which is currently dealing with burglary, robbery and vehicle theft in various locations, was awarded a slice of the Safer Streets fund. 

 

In a statement, the council said: “The funding of £96,000 from the Home Office will contribute to a £120,000 investment in CCTV and improved street lighting in various areas of Great Yarmouth and CCTV in Gorleston.

 

“The CCTV system plays an important role in helping to deter, detect and respond swiftly to crime and anti-social behaviour in Great Yarmouth’s central area, as well as assisting with the location of missing or injured persons.

 

"In supporting the safety and security of those living in, working in and visiting our town centre, the CCTV system upgrade supports the council’s wider investments in town centre regeneration.”
