Shropshire Council is proposing budget savings by scaling down monitoring.
Public consultation has opened on whether to scale down a town's CCTV monitoring as a council seeks to make £62.5m in budget savings.
The council said its preferred option would be to retain 24/7 CCTV coverage, but cease round-the-clock active monitoring, and instead have staff prioritising out-of-hours emergency calls for key council services. The council spent more than £381,000 on the service in 2023, compared to £419,000 in 2022 and £260,000 in 2021.
