CCTV

Erewash Borough Council has a number of CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) cameras located in key areas around the Borough for your safety and detection of crime and anti-social behaviour. Cameras are situated on buildings and columns throughout the Borough and link through to our Control Rooms, which are located in Ilkeston and Long Eaton Police Station. The cameras are monitored at various times during the week and weekends by police volunteers.
