Save Westminster's CCTV
Throughout our lives we have been surrounded by eyes in the sky, those little things that move from left to right, being there for us when we need them, defending us in court, putting that criminal behind bars due to what they have witnessed - Our Westminster CCTV.
The council are turning off ALL 75 CCTV CAMERAS in Westminster on the 1st September - This is going to result in a massive increase in robberies, drug misuse, assaults, rape and many other crimes. The Police would no longer be able to track a terrorist's movements, would no longer be able to follow someone that has just committed a serious crime or even see over a stop & search that an officer needs. We need these cameras kept on, please sign this petition to keep us all safe. Thank you.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. CCTV in Westminster is the responsibility of your Westminster Borough Council, working in co-operation with The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
