Neighbours have praised a plan aimed at stopping 'dodgy stuff' happening at a popular Nottinghamshire park. Increased security measures in the form of a CCTV camera may be installed at Killisick Road Recreation Ground soon, with plans recommended for approval at Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on September 7.
The application put forward by the council itself seeks planning permission for the erection of a 10m high column and 2m antennae extension for a CCTV camera and associated transmitter equipment, with a concrete base. The purpose of the camera is to assist in the prevention and detection of anti-social behaviour at the site, according to the local authority.
Locals reacted positively to the plans, which look set to receive the green light. Retiree Stephen Jones, 56, said he had heard of 'dodgy stuff' going on late on at the park.
