North Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner wants to see a more unified approach to providing CCTV in the county.
Philip Allott says good CCTV can be a real help to the emergency services.
He thinks the current set up in the county is haphazard:
He feels CCTV cameras across north Yorkshire need to be updated and the monitoring of them should be centralised.
The commissioner added the current system is too fragmented with no single organisation overseeing the county's cameras:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
