New CCTV and lighting in Castle Park
Published: 25/01/2022
WORK to install new lighting and surveillance has started in Whitehaven’s Castle Park to help Copeland residents feel safer.
The Home Office’s Safer Streets Fund has granted £190k to Cumbria’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Peter McCall. Some of this is being used by Copeland Borough Council to light the paths within the park and install CCTV cameras.
Increased surveillance should deter the anti-social behaviour that has become a common occurrence in the park.
