Town Council not to fund CCTV....

The Chamber of Commerce is disappointed at the decision by the Town Council not to fund CCTV.

We specifically requested at the Town Council meeting on Monday evening (2nd February) that they consider holding a public meeting in order to gauge public feeling at this present time, before making their final decision.

Whilst the consultation undertaken by the working group was quite extensive, there was little interest in the debate from residents and businesses 6 months ago. This situation has now changed and the Chamber feels that listening to the public and their concerns would have better informed the Town Council of the need for CCTV in the town.
