200 new CCTV cameras part of security upgrade
The Gazette
|June 05, 2025
MORE than 200 new CCTV cameras have been installed across Redcar and Cleveland.
Redcar and Cleveland Council was awarded funding for CCTV upgrades in February 2024 as part of the former government's levelling up partner-ships scheme, with money also going towards remodelling its control room.
The local authority previously conceded the system it was using was out of date and limited the scope to make improvements.
Last summer, Saltburn councillor Philip Thomson criticised coverage of the Lower Promenade in the town after an incident in which eight waste bins were set on fire.
Speaking at a meeting in August, he said: “The local authority CCTV has not been extensive enough and the quality of the analogue system which has been used over the years does not always have the definition to allow proper identification of individuals.
“The new money is due to be invested in more proficient CCTV equipment which I hope will have a greater range beyond current coverage.”
