Press Release Body = Firms and businesses in and around Shrewsbury are being asked
to cough up money for installing spy cameras all over the town. This is being seen
as a very severe and obligatory measure to curb the rise of crime in the town. The
chief executive of Borough council has written to traders in the town to pay cash
for the CCTV surveillance network and has warned that many crimes will go unpunished
if they are not able to rake enough funds to protect the town from anti-social
elements.

Instructions have been passed on to the Home Office and Police to dole out money in
a bid to make certain that every nook and corner of the town is monitored closely at
all hours. This will prove highly instrumental in bringing to notice any form of
crime occurring in whichever part of the town. A detailed report has been formed for
the Borough councils overview committee who will sanction the towns CCTV network.

Other highlights of this plan include 24 hour surveillance and monitoring by paid
staff and volunteers. To bring such a plan to action the committee is falling short
of funds, and hence they felt a need to involve all the businessmen in the locality
since such a protection would prove highly beneficial to them. Extra cash would be
obtained from tickets in car parks, so that there is no short coming or dearth of
funds for the project.

The Borough council receives about 40,000 annually from Shropshire County Council
for second homes income which will also be utilized for the CCTV. This is cash
raised through council tax on peoples second homes. The report also mentions that
the chief executive will also be writing to businesses mentioning the potential for
reduced CCTV cover and a reduction in the ability to respond to alarming situations
without any financial support from the business community. He will also be writing
to the Home Office and police requesting them to consider making a contribution to
the service.
