Neighbours have welcomed the prospect of new CCTV cameras to catch 'troublemakers'. Two CCTV cameras will be placed off the A612 Colwick Loop Road, near the new Sainsbury's supermarket, and on the corner of Lockerbie Street and Vale Road, Colwick, if plans are approved by Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on January 11.
The camera posts have been proposed by officials at the borough council, in the hope they will help prevent and detect crime and anti-social behaviour nearby. People in the area spoke in favour of the measures.
Retired Greg Parkin, who is 86 years old and lives in Vale Road, said he had several cameras at his house. "I’m really happy about the new camera because if any more trouble was going to happen it would catch anyone," he said.
