CCTV cameras in Eastbourne are to be spruced up in a £30,000 refurbishment programme.

Council bosses agreed to provide the cash to refurbish all 15 cameras, poles and other CCTV equipment in the resort.

Council leader Beryl Healy said: "We value the safety that having CCTV cameras gives to the residents in the town centre. I only wish we were able to extend the scheme."

Sussex police will also refurbish the monitoring equipment housed at their station in Grove Road.
