  • The CCTV suite, working with PC Paul Phillips and PC Bob Steel has secured two ASBOs on persistent beggars.

  • Work is ongoing to link up Redbridge Park & Ride CCTV with St Aldates CCTV suite.

  • A new CCTV camera was erected Hythe Bridge Street. The police and CCTV unit had identified the area around the site as a blind spot. Primarily funded by OSCP, the camera became operational in May.

CCTV on the Cowley Road

Funding has been identified from OSCP for the installation of three CCTV cameras on Cowley Road. The total cost of the scheme will be approximately £50k.

The tender specification meeting is set for the 18th September. The timetable for the installation is less clear as there are a number of hurdles to overcome including lead-in times for electricity installations on lampposts, stability issues due to the age of the lampposts and columns that currently have decorative lights on and the relay of images from the cameras to the police station. All of these matters are in hand and it is hoped that the installation can be completed by the end of the year.
