North Northamptonshire Council has launched a public consultation on the proposed installation of new CCTV cameras at Spring Rise Park in Kettering.

Funded through the Clear, Hold Build Approach by the Office of the Police Fire and Crime Commissioner, it is proposed the installation of two CCTV cameras. For increased security, if approved, both cameras will be monitored by staff in a secure location.

Spring Rise Park, a well-used local green space, has seen a rise in incidents prompting the council to consider additional security measures. The proposed CCTV installation is intended to deter anti-social behaviour, support enforcement efforts, and provide reassurance to park users.

Our green spaces are well used, and we want residents to feel safe when using them.

This initiative is part of the council’s broader strategy to enhance public safety and reduce anti-social behaviour in community spaces.Cllr Greg Wilcox, the council’s Executive Member for Communities

Following our discussions with residents highlighting their safety concerns around Spring Rise Park, I’m really pleased that we’ve received funding from the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner to install these monitored CCTV cameras.

This is a real positive for the area and will help local people feel safer in using and enjoying the park, and I’d encourage people to share their thoughts on the cameras by filling out the council’s survey.

What residents think really matters to us and our partners, and I look forward to continuing to work positively with our community to improve the area for everyone.Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Matt Rock

I know that our communities want us to focus on the issues that matter to them. If these cameras are approved, they will be a really useful tool in preventing anti-social behaviour in this well-used public park.Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone
