CCTV cameras
Where they are and how they are used for parking and traffic enforcement
There are numerous CCTV cameras located throughout the borough along main roads, shopping areas and estates, which are primarily used by our Community Safety section in conjunction with the Police.
Of these, some CCTV cameras are also used for parking and traffic enforcement:
Locations of CCTV cameras used for parking and traffic enforcement
How they are used
The CCTV cameras are used to monitor:
- bus lanes during peak hours
- bus stops
- yellow line waiting and loading restrictions
- zig-zag lines before and after pedestrian crossings
- banned turns
- no entry restrictions
- school keep clear markings
- access only restrictions
- keep left bollards
- taxi ranks
- footway parking and
- loading bays.
However, if there is a requirement for any of them to be used in connection with combating crime, Community Safety council officers and the Police have first call on them in the event of a conflict of use. In addition to enforcement by fixed cameras, mobile CCTV enforcement is also undertaken.
