Business owners in a bustling market town in Rushcliffe say the new CCTV system is already ‘giving the people of Bingham peace of mind’ and locals are already feeling the difference.

The newly installed high-definition cameras are equipped with sophisticated night vision capabilities, enabling operators to monitor and identify incidents of antisocial behaviour at any time. This real-time surveillance allows authorities to promptly intervene, providing added peace of mind for residents and visitors in public spaces.
