P-06-1515 Urgent installation of CCTV at Porth Train Station and bridge
This petition was submitted by Emma Cawston, having collected a total of 255 signatures.
Text of petition:
Urgently request the installation of CCTV
at Porth Train Station and the bridge that spans the train
tracks.
This area has increasingly become a hotspot for antisocial
behavior, groups of individuals bullying and intimidating young
children, passengers, and local residents. Reports have highlighted
incidents of intimidation, substance abuse, vandalism to shops and
the throwing of bricks at nearby properties.
This is creating an unsafe environment for those who live, work, or
travel in the vicinity.
Additional information:
Despite repeated concerns raised with law enforcement, little progress has been made in addressing the growing problem.
As a result, residents and passengers feel vulnerable and unsupported. The lack of security measures is a concern for parents, commuters and the wider community.
Installing CCTV at Porth Train Station
and the bridge is a crucial step to ensuring the safety and
wellbeing of residents and commuters. Visible, active CCTV systems
would act as both a deterrent to criminal behaviour and a tool for
law enforcement in identifying and prosecuting offenders.
The duty of care owed to the community is not being adequately met,
and immediate action is required to protect young children,
passengers, and residents from harm. We urge the relevant
authorities to take this matter seriously and prioritise the safety
of the community by installing CCTV as a matter of
urgency.
