CCTV Consultation – Queen Street/Wereton Road CARA play area – August 2022
The following letter has been sent to those who live next to the Play area:
Over recent months there has been an increase in vandalism and damage to the skate park and play equipment at the above site. This is leased and managed by a group of residents known as The Children of Audley Residents Association (CARA). CARA have worked hard over the years fundraising over £150,000 through events and grants to improve the play area and maintain it for the benefit of the local children. Unfortunately now, the volunteers are growing tired of their efforts being wasted, due to a very small number of people who are spoiling it for others.
The Parish Council have agreed to assist CARA by installing CCTV cameras for the purposes of the prevention and detection of crime. As it requires electrics to be brought onto the site, the installation will cost in the region of £10,000 which is money that could have been put to other uses. The CCTV cameras will be located on a pole, to be installed by E-on, by the entrance gate from Queen Street facing towards the BMX and skate park. Therefore, your privacy should not be impacted.
Please help CARA by reporting the crimes that occur to 101, online at www.staffordshire.police.uk or via Staffordshire Police Facebook page (messenger). Please obtain a crime reference number for each occasion – as soon as it occurs if possible. This will allow the police to review footage from the cameras and easily pinpoint the incident. The cameras will also have infrared to capture incidents that occur during the dark. If you have any concerns, please respond by no later than Monday 19th August 2022 preferably by email to audleyparishcouncil@hotmail.co.uk or telephone 07946 060826.
