In recent years, the Bluebell Way estate in Coalville has been plagued by increasing acts of vandalism and dangerous activities, affecting the peace and safety of our community. Personally, I have witnessed groups setting fires repeatedly, culminating in a particularly distressing incident this week where they set fire to a motorbike. This is not just my story; it resonates with many other concerned residents who want to restore the safety and tranquility of our neighborhood.

The indiscriminate setting of fires not only poses a threat to property but also to the lives of residents and innocent bystanders. These acts of arson have created a climate of fear, affecting the quality of life and community cohesion. The lack of surveillance has emboldened those responsible for these dangerous activities, knowing they can act with impunity and evade accountability.

CCTV cameras can serve as a powerful deterrent and a tool for identifying perpetrators, thereby enhancing the safety and security of our estate. Installing CCTV on the field behind Warren Hills school that has a footpath leading to  Bluebell Way would not only help to monitor and prevent criminal activities but also assist law enforcement in conducting swift investigations and bringing offenders to justice.

We urge the local authorities and law enforcement agencies to prioritize the installation of CCTV cameras in our community. This measure will provide a sense of security and significantly reduce the occurrence of anti-social behavior. Neighbouring areas that have implemented surveillance have seen a notable decrease in similar incidents, bolstering the case for its effectiveness.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a proactive step towards safeguarding our homes and neighborhood. Install CCTV cameras now to help us build a safer, more secure community for all residents of Bluebell Way. Sign this petition to be part of the change that will protect our estate and future generations.
