IN its latest move, the "Eyes on Newton and Earlestown" campaign is asking Newton businesses to help raise £10,000 towards monitoring closed circuit television.

The project would mean that film footage from the cameras, which are installed at key locations throughout the area, would be examined by a team of experts.

Chairman of the campaign, Fred Mort, commented: "Letters have gone out to local companies and we have already had excellent feedback and the first cheque presentation to the campaign is expected next month."

Donations can be made via Mr Mort on 01925 227768.
