CCTV boost for city centre

Exeter City Centre’s modern CCTV network has benefitted greatly from Safer Street funding.

At the moment a further 32 cameras are being added to the network alongside other system upgrades to increase stability.

The new cameras will be sited in areas identified as hot spots where women and members of the LGBTQ+ feel unsafe and where crimes have been reported. These locations all suffer with high levels of crime or are key entry/exit paths into the city.

With a monthly footfall of over one million the significant benefits to preventing crime and promoting public safety of people in those public spaces is clear.
