It has been proposed by Glasgow's City Council that CCTV cameras could be unmanned for 12 hours a day under a considerable new cost-cutting plan by the council.
Unions have claimed the move means the system may not be monitored between 4am and 4pm and this move has been described as potentially dangerous for children.
Details of the proposed plans were first unveiled in last month's budget document with estimations of it saving more than £1.5 million. Glasgow City Council currently has 429 fixed public space CCTV cameras across the city as well as 98 traffic cameras and eight re-deployable cameras.
