MORE than £400,000 is set to be spent updating CCTV systems in Flintshire, in a bid to tackle anti-social behaviour.
A report on the plans, which would also see an extra £82,000 a year spent on specialist staff, is expected to be approved by the council's executive committee today.The CCTV service was launched in Flintshire in 2002, as part of a partnership between North Wales Police and town and community councils.
About 46 cameras were originally installed to monitor open spaces across the county, in a bid to reduce anti-social behaviour, criminal damage and alcohol-related violence.
Over the past six years, the number of cameras has increased to 120 and the new plans, if approved, will see all equipment updated and two operators on duty in the control room at all times.
