The number of cameras covering Blackpool has already been increased from 92 to over 300
More cameras could be added to Blackpool ’s CCTV system following a £2m investment which saw a new control centre open nearly two years ago. The centre, which was launched in March 2023, also includes an incident management unit which is used to monitor safety at large scale events such as the Fireworks Championships and Blackpool Air Show.
The £2m upgrade of the system saw the number of cameras increased from 92 to more than 300, with parks including Stanley Park included in the coverage so vandals can be caught in the act. “These requests will be looked at by the public protection team and the police and we will have a priority list. We won’t be able to pay for them all, but when we have the funding we will do it.”
Mr Blackledge said: “We are having a big focus on making sure the control room is well manned at certain times such as Friday and Saturday nights when it is most needed. All the emergency services have been based in the incident management centre during major events this year.”
