Next I went to the Claremont council office and spent two hours going through council minute books. Council staff were unable to locate the minutes of the safety in Claremont committee, a committee organised by the WA Police Service. The minutes of that meeting reveal that the consultant's report on cameras had not been forwarded to the council by a standing committee. Peter and an officer from Claremont CIB installed the first camera, borrowed from Main Roads as a temporary measure. The WA Police Service used its own unmonitored cameras to help during the serial killer investigation.
Claremont council is yet to install a public surveillance camera for crime prevention.
I believe that Mr Weygers has not been given a fair go. It is regrettable that the POST published Mr King's letter a week before the election, leaving no time to undo the damage. Post Newspapers Pty Ltd. All rights reserved.
