CCTV AT RAILWAY STATIONS

That this House notes with concern the number of assaults on both members of the public and staff at railway stations, combined with other regular incidents of anti-social behaviour; recognises that people need to feel safe if they are to be encouraged to use the train in addition to highlighting the importance of safety for people at work; believes that CCTV cameras can help go a long way to deterring criminal activity and anti-social behaviour; and calls on the Government to make more funds available for the introduction of CCTV cameras on railway stations both in urban and rural areas.
