CCTV in the West End

Following the incident at Londis earlier this week (click on headline to view), I have now written to the Chief Constable in the following terms :

Chief Constable John Vine BA MCIPD
Tayside Police
P O Box 59
West Bell Street
DUNDEE

Dear Chief Constable

Provision of CCTV - Perth Road west of Roseangle

Following the recent armed robbery incident at a store in Perth Road, I have again received concerns from residents about the lack of CCTV provision west of Roseangle on Perth Road.

Although I understand the store concerned does have its own CCTV system, the incident has again highlighted that most of the district shopping centre in the Perth Road area is not covered by CCTV and is an extremely busy shopping area both during the day, evening and night.

I have written to Tayside Police regarding this matter on a number of occasions in the past and have been assured that the area is a priority for future consideration (amongst others) and I would be grateful if you could update me as to the current position.

With grateful thanks.

Yours sincerely

Cllr Fraser Macpherson
Convener of Planning and Transport
Councillor for the West End
