Glen Eira Debates %d

I don’t blame the government for saying no. They don’t want to set a precedent so others can do the same. Maybe if Glen Eira didn’t spend all its money on stupid cutting down of trees and putting concrete everywhere they would have the cash to do something useful for the community. They would save millions if they stopped using lawyers to hound people.

The cost of tree removal would be minuscule in the broader scheme of things. A mere pin prick compared the money burned to ensure budgets aren’t cut.

What a waste of money, dos not matter how you look at it. The CCTV will not be used unless someone complains or a tragic incidence happens. How likely is it that that will happen.. Every week Leader has a police incident report and Glen Eira is hardly mentioned. When it does it is Elsternwick and Caulfield South. No wonder police is not interested in looking at CCTV. Waste of time.

Rather then throwing out unread your Neighbourhood Watch Bulletin you should read it. Or perhaps you should contact them and get their take. Crime (particularly thefts from homes and cars) and anti social behaviour is dramatically increasing throughout the municipality, The Police have even blitzed certain areas. So far no one had be harmed – but without some preventative action being taken it’s hard to see how the increase will be stopped and unfortunately it’s probably just a matter of time before someone is harmed..
As for your comments on the uselessness of CCTV cameras, I point to
. the installation (by the property owner) of CCTV cameras on the Bank Building in Bentleigh – since installation zero graffiti and anti social Behaviour issues.
. the latest Neighbourhood Watch Bulletin which features as first on its list of crimes committed “Burglary – Caulfield North. CCTV footage of offender. 1 x arrest”
. the widespread use of CCTV cameras globally, nationally, statewide and with Metro Melbourne.
Whether CCTV cameras are live streamed to police (opportunity to “catch in the act”) or recorded for later use (“”catch” after the act”) they are an indisputably invaluable apprehension and preventative weapon.
