Since 1996, the Scottish Executive has provided Challenge Competition funding for CCTV in excess of £10 million to over 160 projects throughout Scotland. Whilst priority has been given to the installation of new camera systems, a number of projects involving the upgrade and extension to existing systems have been successful in the competition. We are reviewing our current funding arrangements for both our CCTV and Community Safety Challenge Competitions for 2002-03 and I will make an announcement in due course.
