PLANS for a comprehensive CCTV system covering Warrington’s Walton Hall Gardens have been given the green light by borough planners.
The scheme will require nine cameras to be fixed to various listed buildings within the estate.
Members of the borough council’s development management committee were told the need for cameras had arisen because of vandalism and damage to buildings over a number of years.
In an attempt to reduce the amount of damage cameras had already been introduced in the area of Walton Hall itself and the café courtyard.
The new cameras would capture images on all entrance and exists to each building. They would be attached to the café building, the old laundry building, the golf club court and the riding school courtyard.
Planning permission had already been granted for cameras at the children’s zoo.
Walton Hall and Gardens were acquired by the borough council after the death of original owner Lord Daresbury in 1938 and opened and a public park in 1945.
