The Council is providing support to 48 local town centre businesses across the Borough as part of their CCTV Grant Programme which was launched last year.

The Council is delighted with the response they received to the CCTV Grant Programme which was developed to make our town centres safer. This funding will also help improve the safety and wellbeing of the public in our town centres, making these areas more welcoming and attractive to our residents and visitors.

The Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey Alderman Stephen Ross recently visited NBAS Chartered Accountants in Glengormley, one of the many businesses the Council has offered financial support to as part of the programme.

Speaking during his visit the Mayor said;

“I am pleased that so many of our local businesses across our Borough have been offered assistance as part of the CCTV Grant Programme. The installation of CCTV and other associated equipment will provide additional security and peace of mind for our business owners, local residents and visitors.”

Nigel Beggs of NBAS Chartered Accountants added;

“I am delighted to have received financial aid from the CCTV Grant Programme. Not only will the new CCTV system help secure my business premises, but it will also benefit my clients and the wider community in Glengormley in keeping them safe.”
