CCTV cameras in Bognor Regis will stay switched on for the next three years.

The good news was confirmed at a meeting of Arun District Council’s cabinet on Monday. Members agreed to sign a new contract with Sussex Police to fund the cameras until 2015.

Paul Wotherspoon, in charge of Arun’s cabinet community safety work, said: “This is very much a good news item. Back in 2009 the turning off of CCTV cameras was not a popular idea and I am very pleased an agreement has been reached to ensure the cameras stayed on.
