Essex Council installs CCTV in Dovercourt following worker abuse

Overview

CCTV cameras are being installed by Essex Highways to protect road workers facing online and on-site abuse from frustrated motorists in Dovercourt. The abuse occurred during a £2.39m road repaving project along Kingsway, which has had a one-way traffic system in place since June as part of a wider £9m town regeneration.

Key points
