It's a start! BIG BROTHER IS NOW WATCHING YOU. The brand new AI cameras on Hednesford station are now fully operational. They are state of the art with facial recognition capability so there should now be no excuse for picking up anti-social behaviour. They are set up to cover the whole of the platform area, steps and track trespass. This should go a long way to reducing the persistent ASB and criminal damage we regularly endure.
After the meeting yesterday with Josh Newbury MP, representatives from West Midlands Trains, Network Rail and Chase Line Rail Promotion Group, Heart of Hednesford CIC are also involved in preparing a multi-agency plan to combat wider ASB issues on the railway and in the town. Watch this space.
