CCTV needed at Tesco store at Ingleby Barwick?

Stewart I'm well within my rights to comment about SBC(not that I believe I slagged it off), as I've dealt with a number of SBC employees who have personally gave both myself and a large number of my neighbours the impression that they couldn't give two hoots to our concerns on this estate.
I have done this in the form of written correspondence, e-mails, telephone calls and face-to-face conversations. If you would like to see some examples of this then ask the administrator to send me your e-mail.

And no I'm not a whiner just someone who actually lives on this estate and is bothered about the level of service we receive from people who are paid out of tax payers pockets. you missed the whole point of my comments, and it wasn't about litter.

why should tesco provide CCTV when it is actually upto SBC to provide pro-active enforcement. How much longer are we going to hear people moan about kids hanging round tesco and see absolutely nothing done about it. if kids hang about outside your house, SBC don't tell you to put CCTV up,,so why should Tesco ??
SBC need to provide the resources to prevent bad behavior instead of watching it on tv screens somewhere else. At the moment it seems the CCTV doesn't get watched by anyone anyway.

comments like these are not pro-active either:"Maybe the CCTV could be used to watch for waste papers instead of the yobs", and can only indicate that you probably work for SBC yourself.

Olly, how can you slag SBC and its CFYA in about not being pro active.
They have their regular daily litter cleaning routes which are done very well.
If you see a problem then report it to the correct persons(CFYA and your local councillors)then they are reactive in the sense that it will be tidied.If you ward councillors ask them(and I know they do) that particular area will be put on the normal daily rota.
Maybe the CCTV could be used to watch for waste papers instead of the yobs.

Jeff,
There is already CCTV outside the beckfields shops which proves it doesn't work. In order for it to work you have to see a problem occurring and then phone the CCTV operator who will pan round to the issue and then call the enforcement teams if needed. SBC and its hierarchy obviously place a heavy reliance on the use of CCTV as a re-active monitoring tool because they cannot be bothered to pro-actively manage the issue of litter, anti-social behavior and all the rest of the estate's problems. there's a lot more for kids to do now than there was 20 years ago, they are just bone idle and their parents don't help either. We now live in a society full of people who won't take responsibility of their own actions and also look to shoulder blame elsewhere.

The introduction of cctv at Tesco is only one answer to one of many problems on the estate involving youths. Romano Park to the rear will be a magnet for youths so what is to be installed there - cctv ? What about down the side of Tesco adjacent to Barwick Way - that is a hotbed of fly tipping and other things ? The Community Centre is open on limited nights and there are usually more outside than inside. The bench opposite the Beckfields shops - every morning, the area is littered with pizza boxes and other fast food remnants. CCTV there aswell ?

CCTV is not the answer to all of life ills and does not prevent or deter incidents. We need to be giving the youths more things to do. If these youths congregate and cause a nuisance or annoyance, can the Police not use their new powers to disperse them ?
