These cameras will provide added reassurance to communities and is just one of many measures the council is undertaking to make Hucknall’s streets safer.

Coun Helen-Ann Smith (Ash Ind), cabinet member for community safety, said: “It’s fantastic that these CCTV cameras are being updated.

"The fact that they are capturing high- definition images will help make residents feel safer and deter potential criminals.

“The CCTV cameras, combined with the other projects, should reassure residents that Hucknall is a safe place to visit, work and live.”
