Polesworth Parish Council has recently confirmed that they have installed twenty-eight new CCTV cameras around the village in a bid to cut crime and anti-social behaviour. The council also confirmed plans to roll out new cameras to the villages of Birchmoor and Warton this year.

 

Cllr Mick Stanley said: “This has been a big commitment by the Parish Council and has been a lot of hard work over the last 12months, but we are all very pleased with the outcome. We had very positive comments from those who attend the meeting.

 

“Everyone was very impressed with the quality of the pictures from the 28 camera’s throughout Polesworth centre and Abbey Green Park. We now have comprehensive coverage which we hope will make residents and businesses’ safer.

 

“We will continue to work with the police and strengthen our cooperation with them in the new year. We will be working to introduce some cameras in Warton and Birchmoor in 2019.”

 

Mark English, Design Out Crime Officer, Warwickshire Police said: “Warwickshire Police are keen to support Polesworth Parish Council with their introduction of a new CCTV system. The council have allowed the local officers access to their system so we can prevent/ detect crime and anti-social behaviour in the village.

 

“In today’s society technology is the way forward I’ve no doubt other areas will be adopting a similar system.

 

The local policing team are looking forward to working with the council to address local issues.”
