We work with Remploy Managed Services to monitor our
borough-wide network of CCTV cameras, 24 hours a day, to ensure
that West Lancashire remains a safe place to live and work. We're
extremely proud of the scheme, which has achieved national
recognition for its innovation and environmentally friendly
technology.
Why CCTV is so important
CCTV is an important tool in providing evidence, but it plays a
more important role of reducing crime and the fear of crime for
local communities, and enhancing reassurance for residents, which
is one of the Council's top priorities.
CCTV Code of Practice
The aim of the CCTV scheme is to provide a safe and secure
public environment for the benefit of those who live, work
or visit the borough. The approved partners in the CCTV
scheme are the Council and its recognised community safety
partners, with operational activity principally undertaken by
Lancashire Constabulary.
The CCTV scheme is operated within applicable law, and only for
the purposes of reducing Crime and Disorder for which it is
established or purposes which are subsequently agreed in accordance
with the Code of Practice. A copy of the Code of Practice for the
West Lancashire CCTV Scheme can be viewed below.
