TEIGNMOUTH'S CCTV system is so successful the police have asked for another three cameras to be added to the existing 17.

The news was given to a town council meeting on Tuesday, when the spat with the controller of the Newton Abbot scheme about the efficiency of the resort's cameras also rumbled on.

Town clerk Dave Tickell said grants of up to £5,000 were available from the police and crime commissioner for CCTV upgrades.
