The Safer Redhill Partnership is working with the Redhill Boxing Club to offer more self-defence lessons for women, and also they have got some drugs education kind of roadshows, for want of a better term, workshops and so on, at Carrington and East Surrey College, and there's going to be more lights in Memorial Park. So, to me, that sounds all very positive stuff.

Now, there was also talk about CCTV camera provision. in the town centre. And they said, please don't believe all of local media. Now, I've been onto a couple of local media sites which have been talking about CCTV provision in Redhill over the course of the last week. Let me quote from one very kind of significant media publication. See if you can spot the problem with this, what they say.

Reigate and Bandstead Council has 65 cameras in key locations including the Priory and Memorial and Lady Neville multi-storey car parks. Hmm, that's a big problem there, isn't there? First of all, okay, Lady Neville is up at Bandstead, so that bit is kind of correct. That is in Rygate and Bandstead. Obviously nothing to do with the Planet Rygate podcast area, we don't go that far.

But Priory and Memorial multi-storey car parks? Well... Memorial Park doesn't really have a car park, does it? To speak of. Priory Park has a car park, but it's really on the Bell Street car park is actually what it's called, isn't it? But I suppose you could call it the Priory Park car park. But none of them are multi-storey car parks associated with either Priory Memorial or Lady Neville parks.

So they've got that completely wrong, haven't they? Yeah, very disappointing. Anyway, this is what we heard from the horse's mouth directly from Isabel with the Safer Red Hill Partnership. She said that Red Hill... CCTV cameras are locally recording any incidents that take place.

Now, as you may have seen, when you pass a CCTV camera poll, in that vicinity, legally, there has to be a sign up saying why they are recording. And it's usually because of the prevention of crime or detection of crime, that kind of thing. So, legally, you can't just have... A public authority or anyone just putting up a CCTV camera for no reason.

OK, they've got to demonstrate, they've got to show, they've got to have evidence of a specific reason that there has been some crime which has been committed in that particular area over X number of months. So bear that in mind. It is proposed to upgrade nine CCTV cameras in Redhill Town Centre, and these are the ones which are most important. More of that in a moment.

Some cameras will be, they said, they told us, decommissioned because they're not being used. So legally, as I say, there has to be evidence of a reason to have cameras up. They can't just have cameras up willy-nilly. There's got to be evidence of them being needed. Those cameras are not needed. Why do we say, or why do they say, not me, why do they say they're not needed?

Why do we say, or why do they say, not me, why do they say they're not needed?

Because there's been no crime committed in front of those cameras or in the vicinity of those cameras over the last X number of months. Legally, they have to take them down. Now, there will be a possible upgrading of more cameras. For example, the one opposite McDonald's. Now, that is a camera which turns. Now, that is great if you want to follow somebody.

But of course, while you're following someone that may or may not have committed a disturbance or a crime or an assault or whatever it happens to be, the camera is not pointing. where it used to be, further down the road, the other direction, inevitably.
