BRADFORD Council’s Executive is to consider proposals to invest £100,000 in CCTV in Ilkley town centre. The Ilkley CCTV scheme includes ten high-definition CCTV cameras located within the town centre providing coverage of the key streets and venues. The council believes the investment will help bring a reduction in crime, improve evidence for prosecuting offenders and provide assurance to visitors and residents. The new network could also assist the council in managing events, traffic and emergencies. In recent years Ilkley has held a number of high profile events including the Tour de France and Tour de Yorkshire. These events and others such as Real Food Ilkley, Ilkley Carnival, and Christmas light switch on have led to significant increases in the numbers of visitors to the town.
