SIX new CCTV cameras are being installed in Brecon and three new cameras are being installed in Newcastle Emlyn as part of the Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn’s key pledge to reinvest in a public CCTV system.
The work will commence on Monday, August 17 on the installation programme in Brecon town, which will see cameras installed in High Street, Tredegar Street, The Bulwark, Co-op Car Park and Ship Street.
The camera locations have been decided following a review of a crime pattern analysis and in consultation with partner agencies.
The work is being carried out by contractors Baydale Control Systems Ltd. The hi-tech cameras are being supplied by Hikvision UK & Ireland.
Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said:
“Work is continuing on the CCTV project, and I am delighted that two towns are now set to benefit from new cameras.
“Three cameras will be installed in Newcastle Emlyn this week, and six in Brecon next week, bringing the number of towns we have included in the CCTV project to 23.”
” Brecon is the next town in Powys to benefit from my key election pledge to re-install public space CCTV. This is a busy town, and I am confident the cameras will prove to be a valuable asset in keeping the town safe and assisting with the detection of crime.”
“I am confident the cameras will prove to be a valuable asset in keeping these towns safe and assisting with the detection of crime.”
Powys Commander, Superintendent Steve Davies, said:
“This is a positive move for Brecon. Having the cameras in place while we experience an increase in visitors to the area during the holiday period will help us to keep everyone as safe as possible and assist us in carrying out quality investigations when required.”
Work on the installation programme in Newcastle Emlyn will begin on Monday, August 10.
Cameras will be installed in Sycamore Street, Emlyn Square and Heol y Bont. The camera locations have been decided following a review of a crime pattern analysis and in consultation with partner agencies.

Ceredigion Commander, Superintendent Robyn Mason, said:
