MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, April 27, 2015

Question NO. 30

Question: Councillor C. King

"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for the numbering of the CCTV poles in Jobstown to enable residents to report problems more effectively.

REPORT:

CCTV cameras are installed for a number of reasons such as to monitor issues of anti-social behaviour, illegal dumping etc. These cameras are usually installed after complaints have been received regarding illegal dumping, anti-social behaviour or other offences being committed.

The relevant areas are then examined and consultations held with the local community to establish the ideal location for the installation of  the cameras. As it is not possible to provide CCTV for every area where they are requested, these cameras are rotated as the need arises, therefore the numbering of the poles is not considered to be necessary or viable.
