CCTV on Village Hall

The Parish Council has put CCTV cameras all around the Village Hall following a number of incidents. These record activity around the clock and we hope that this will improve security for those that use the hall and car park. Images are saved via the newly installed Village Hall broadband hub. Signs around the Hall advertise the existence of the cameras.
