A mayor from an Australian town has called for a security surveillance system to be installed, alongside a raft of other safety measures. John Chedid, the lord mayor of Parramatta, in New South Wales, wants increased CCTV coverage of the central shopping centre, reports the Parramatta Advertiser. He also called for more uniformed police to patrol the area and a new shuttle bus service. Lord Mayor Chedid told the news provider: "In recent years, council has devoted significant resources towards reversing negative perceptions of Parramatta to promote our local community as a safe … environment." He added that anecdotal evidence suggests people and business are becoming worried about anti-social behaviour. The lord mayor put forward his suggestion on Monday November 29th, to counter the worries and perceptions that residents and visitors may have of the area. Parramatta is located in south-eastern Australia and is a suburb of the country's largest city, Sydney. Posted by Roger Isaacson
