Harden Shire Council has completed the installation of a set of closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) in the Neill Street Central Business Area.

The project, funded by the Australian Government National Crime Prevention Fund through the Safer Streets Programme will aim to deter antisocial behaviour and vandalism in this section of town.

“The Council signed a funding agreement worth $8,000 with the government for three new CCTV cameras on Neill Street,” Mr Taylor said. “I know the presence of CCTV cameras will add to the great work already achieved by the Harden Shire Council to revamp the main street for small business owners, visitors and the local community.”

Council would like to thank the Member for Hume, Angus Taylor, for his assistance in securing the grant funding for this project.

Taylor made an election promise to Harden that he would deliver on CCTV if elected to the Federal seat of Hume.
