The area around St Mary’s Church in the Town's Centre has experienced a spate of Anti-Social Behaviour over the past few months, and now a new CCTV system has been installed thanks to Aylesbury Business Against Crime.

The cameras have recently been installed and the area is now being monitored for the safety of the residents and visitors to the area. John Watson Board Member said: "We are extremely proud we can assist with this project as this location has been of concern for some time, I’m pleased the board could assist the church and the local residents to hopefully make the location safer by assisting with the installation of a full CCTV system in the area".

Father Zimmerman from St Mary's said; "As a community of faith, located at a prominent position within our town, we have a tremendous number of people who walk to and/or past St Mary’s Church. As a large property in the Town Centre, we have had numerous issues with Anti-Social Behaviour. We are so grateful to ABAC for their support in the ability to document, and hopefully reduce the occurrences of these issues. We see this addition to our security as an act of love and care for our neighbours"
