COUNCIL TO REVIEW CCTV BLIND SPOT

An Independent Security Consultant will review the CCTV blind spot at the corner of Arthur Street and Railway Parade as a result of a question from UNITY Fairfield Councillor Thang Ngo.

Cr Ngo brought up the issue during last week's council meeting, following repeated representation by local businesses and adverse publicity in the Fairfield Champion.

"Council invests significant rate payers funds in CCTV cameras and we need to ensure every cent is used cost effectively" said UNITY Fairfield Councillor Thang Ngo.

"A review of this type also helps to restore public confidence in the CCTV.

"It's unfortunately that for at least the past year, the community have demanded action, but it seems only after I forced the issue that a review is conducted".
