Users hope it will make the area safer
A new CCTV system at a park where users feel a 'little intimidated' has been welcomed by parents and neighbours. Visitors to Muirfield Park, situated between Bestwood and Arnold, said the proposals would ensure security.
The proposals for the CCTV system will be discussed by Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on Wednesday . Council officers have recommended approval, subject to certain conditions and a decision being made at the meeting.Glen Cree, a 63-year-old carer who has lived close to the park for 30 years, said groups tended to congregate at the park. "It's not going to do any harm, it will ensure security.
"I don't come here often but I think it's a lovely park. If anyone wanted to come and destroy something it would be good to find out who that person was. It's safe and calm here, it would be nice if the rest of the area was so good. I think it will keep it safe." The CCTV would be used for the recreation ground, play area and public footpath running through the park as a deterrent and to record possible crimes in the area, documents say.
