A new CCTV system will go live across Walsall later this month

There are around 90 static cameras and 26 mobile ones in Walsall but council chiefs say are no longer fit for purpose.

Now £543,840 is being spent by Walsall Council on replacing them with cameras that will provide much sharper pictures of suspects.

The cameras are monitored around-the-clock seven days a week from a base in Walsall Wood by council workers.
