Ashington Town Council is pleased to report on the positive impact of its upgraded CCTV surveillance system, which has shown encouraging progress in supporting crime prevention and community safety efforts since our new system was installed in April 2024.
The Council’s investment in Asset Watch’s advanced CCTV service is proving instrumental in supporting law enforcement and protecting residents across the town centre and play areas. The upgraded system represents a key priority for the Council in its commitment to providing a safe and pleasant environment for all residents.
Speed Monitoring
The Town Council purchased movable Speed Indicator Devices (SID) in 2018 with two aims; firstly, to educate drivers of speed limits and remind them not to speed, and secondly to be able to collect reliable speed data to quantify speeding issues. SIDs have been proven to be effective at enforcing speed limits as many drivers don’t realise, they are going too fast.
The SID displays the speed a driver is driving (up to a limit to discourage people trying to see how high they can go) and a message to slow down. It is mounted on lamp columns or street signs, and we work with Northumberland County Councils Highways to determine suitable locations.
