Public: Wigan Council uses CCTV as tool in fight against crime
Wigan is currently undergoing a multi-million pound refurbishment, including regeneration of the town centre, apartment conversions and a new shopping centre. An essential part of this new scheme is ensuring that people feel safe in the area and one part of the solution comes in the form of CCTV. There are currently 550 cameras in operation across the borough, with continual additions and improvements being made.
In the town centre itself, Terry Bolton, Principle Officer for Wigan Council, wanted to update the existing kit which was rather complex to operate and had become expensive to maintain. "We worked out that it was basically costing us the same amount to maintain some of the cameras as it would be to buy new ones," he explains. "We were especially keen to make zooming and focusing easier so that operators could more effectively track suspects."
