More CCTV to be installed at railway station

New CCTV cameras could soon be operating at Newtown Railway Station.

Network Rail wants to place new cameras and a speaker system around the station following redevelopment work involving the new bridge and lifts between the two platforms over the Cambrian Railway.

While work continues on that, the company has applied for planning permission for Listed Building Consent for the new equipment.

Last night (Monday), Newtown Town Council's Economy and Environment Committee supported the plans that will be put before Powys County Council's planners later in the month.

Work on the access improvements is due to be completed this summer.
