A tenth crime-busting CCTV camera will be installed in Didcot to help catch criminals.

The camera will be switched on at the junction of Broadway and High Street by South Oxfordshire District Council in the next few months.

The council said there was a gap in surveillance in the area, because of changes to the road layout which meant the road was also busier.

Mark Bradfield, crime reduction officer at Didcot police, welcomed the move. He said: "The more cameras the better.

"It is a good crime reduction measure for the safety of the public. The cameras are a useful tool for us in dealing with all sorts of crime from thefts to assault."

South Oxfordshire district councillor Dorothy Brown said: "The cameras in Didcot are all working well. They are picking up over 40 incidents each month and helping the police to make arrests.

"This camera will give the police an extra helping hand in deterring and detecting any crime or antisocial behaviour in the area."
