Traders in Thame are joining the town council in a bid to get CCTV security cameras in the town centre.
They are making their views known to South Oxfordshire District Council, which co-ordinates the provision of cameras in Wallingford, Henley and Thame.
Thame Chamber of Trade has strongly backed the cameras -- towards which it has offered to raise £10,000. But members have not said how long that offer will last.
The town council's policy committee also wants the cameras. Members agreed to allocate £3,000 a year towards running costs.
The district council is planning a meeting to discuss the installation of cameras and what the final costs will be.
