CCTV for Burscough businesses
CCTV cameras will soon be launched at Burscough Industrial Estate
to make the business park even safer 24 hours a day.
West Lancashire District Council has started work to install a new
system on the site to enhance security for companies even
further.
The project will be completed in the springtime and once finished
it will include nine cameras to monitor the movement of people and
traffic who come in and out of the area round the clock.
It will also complement other stringent measures on the estate such
as the Business Watch radio scheme, which all help to protect
staff, buildings and property.
Cllr Ian Grant, Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Planning,
said: "This is great news for the businesses on the industrial
estate because once installed the new CCTV system will not only act
as a deterrent to would-be criminals but will reassure companies
already on the estate that the cameras are watching anybody acting
suspiciously no matter what time of day or night! The extra
security measures will also hopefully attract even more companies
to the area and boost the local economy too."
Geoff Barker, who owns Barker Transport on the estate and who is
also the Chairman of Burscough Business Watch, said: "On behalf of
everyone on the Burscough Industrial Estate we are very pleased
about the forthcoming CCTV scheme, which will keep crime at bay.
I'm sure it will attract more businesses to the area and create
more jobs as a result because it will make it a safer
environment."
