Security Cameras:
The Business Association has a project to erect security cameras at the rear of the shopping centre buildings, as a safety support for staff, and to help prevent tagging and rubbish dumping.  The first cameras have been erected at the rear of 570 Te Atatu Rd by Enterprise Security, and are now functioning.  Attached is a photo of nathan on the ladder fitting one of the cameras.






Graffiti Paint-Out Project:
With Council support, manpower from Corrections have assisted with the painting out of tagging in the town centre, especially at the rear of buildings which are not covered by the Tag Out Trust contract.  The first two areas dealt with are the rear of 576 Te Atatu Rd, and then the rear of 566 Te Atatu Rd.  The difference is stunning, and tenants will now be encouraged to "Adopt the Spot" where they operate and keep it clean. Security Cameras will asssist in identifying any offenders, and all such will be reported to the Community Constable as part of the STOP project.  "Name and Shame" is in.

Right the building before the paintout.

Rubbish Removal Project:
Two truck loads and three trailer loads of rubbish, a lot of it from residential dumping have been removed from the areas where trhe paint-outs have taken place.  This has been funded by the Business Association, as part of a commitment to make the Town Centre clean, safe and an attractive place to work and shop. With the security cameras the dumping of domestic rubbish will also be monitored and offenders will be prosecuted.
