MORE CCTV cameras have been installed around Frankston in a bid to increase community safety.
It is estimated that the number of CCTV cameras in the Frankston local government area has increased by 20 per cent in the last two years.
CCTV now covers the Nepean Highway from Davey Street to Fletcher Road, and the Seaford waterfront area.
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said “council’s community safety team works closely with local police to identify sites for the new cameras, based on the location of incidents the police have had to attend. The CCTV program has assisted Victoria Police in responding to crime and improved safety and security.”
“Frankston City’s award winning beaches and burgeoning arts scene, including public art installations, are major attractions – not to mention our great shopping precincts. We know when COVID-19 restrictions ease, residents and visitors will be keen to get out and about to support our hardworking traders, grab a bargain or two and explore everything our municipality offers,” he said. “That’s why we’re committed to ensuring our city and suburbs are safe and welcoming places for all and have undertaken a range of initiatives to strengthen public safety and deter anti-social behaviour.”
