CCTV plans for village

RESIDENTS in Daisy Hill could see CCTV surveillance cameras introduced in the village.

Westhoughton town councillor Sean Harkin has proposed that councillors investigate the cost of installing cameras in key parts of the village, including St James Street. He says that introducing a surveillance system could help wipe out anti-social behaviour.

Cllr Harkin said: "The police team have done a wonderful job in reducing anti-social behaviour in Westhoughton but they can't be there all the time. CCTV can play an increasingly important part in our fight against crime."

The town council has already pledged £7,500 towards upgrading the CCTV system in Westhoughton town centre. Seven hi-tech dome cameras will monitor activity in Market Street, Pavillion Square, Wigan Road and Central Drive. There are currently four surveillance cameras in Market Street which rely on operators to move them.

Council members will now look into locations in neighbouring Daisy Hill village, including outside the Bargain Booze off licence, in Lower Leigh Road, where gangs of youths commonly gather on Friday and Saturday nights.

Cllr Andy Morgan said: "We need to investigate cost and speak with the police to find out where the hot spots. It is important that we then consult with residents to see where they think the problem areas are."
