CCTV…
In the last few years it was talked about that a CCTV system would be brilliant to protect the lights in there most vulnerable positions, which is the Market Place and Bridge.
Although most lately we have only been the victims of minor vandalism, most notably the bridge last year and some lights pulled from the tree, we feel that as well as protecting the lights themselves a good system would also cover the area generally at what is ultimately the busiest time in the Town centre.
Melksham’s own CCTV system is not fantastic and cannot cover the area we are most concerned about, so we set about last year thinking of ways to solve this problem. It was generally thought that CCTV was expensive, hard to install and surrounded by red tape. Its none of those.
We were approached by a non local company who were happy to donate the equipment
in exchange for advertising in the town, brilliant, but this is Melksham -
The prime aim of the CCTV system is to protect the lights and Tree, especially this year as we intend to incorporate a collection system which is vulnerable if unguarded. A side effect of this is a extended surveillance system to cover town generally and the Police have already used the system to track crime in the Town.
