The City of London and the London Police Service (LPS) are implementing a project to install more CCTV cameras at core intersections.
And while there was a time, not long ago, when many were leery of cameras in public spaces, it appears new 360-degree surveillance cameras will be accepted.
“I’m 100 per cent for it!” said Mark Kraft.
He operates an automotive shop at Adelaide Street and Hamilton Road. It is one of 15 intersections where cameras will be installed.
LPS received a $200,000 grant from the province to pay for the project.
Their cameras will join 17 existing city cameras and 20 new city cameras. They will be installed at intersections in the downtown core, Old East Village and Hamilton Road.
