New CCTV cameras to tackle crime hotspots in city centre

Side streets running down from Fishergate towards Winckley Square are to be focused on in the first wave of new cameras from Preston City Council.

Residents living in and around Mount Street have long been complaining of issues with youth antisocial behaviour, empty buildings being entered and drug dealing taking place.

The city council say the 14 new CCTV cameras are being aimed at 'low-light areas' and 'known locations for crime and antisocial behaviour'.
