LAUNCESTON Community CCTV Partnership is pleased to announce that all the necessary consents have been granted by Cornwall Council with regards to the planning permission and listed building consent for the installation of CCTV cameras.

Electrical work has already started at the sites and the high tech CCTV equipment has now been ordered.

The installation of the four pan, tilt and zoom cameras is planned to start within a matter of weeks.

A spokesman said: "This will provide Launceston Town with full CCTV coverage and offer the community reassurance as well as the effective resourcing of policing units, assisting in the prevention and detection of crime."

The partnership is also keen to speak with members of the public who would like to be put through the Police Volunteer Scheme and monitor Launceston's CCTV system.

If this is something that you would like to do or would like to have more details then please either phone Launceston Police Neighbourhood Office on 01566 771419 or email [email protected]">[email protected].
