Plans have been submitted for a new camera to be installed in part of Lichfield city centre not covered by CCTV.

A review of the camera network by Lichfield District Council has revealed the need for the new equipment to cover the junction of Bird Street and Market Street.

A planning application is hoping to see the camera mounted on 10 Bird Street, which is currently home to the Viking E-Cigs shop.

A statement supporting the proposal said:

> “The council have undertaken a full review of their CCTV monitoring service in line with their current operational requirements as well as a full technical review of their ageing systems with a view to potential upgrades of the CCTV scheme, removing the risk of equipment obsolescence and reducing their rising annual maintenance and revenue costs.  
>  
> “As part of these reviews, Lichfield District Council have identified the need to provide additional camera coverage to the junction of Market Street and Bird Street.  
>  
> “This additional camera location will provide much needed coverage of an area of the city that is not currently covered by existing camera positions.”  
>  
> Planning statement

The high definition camera will be installed around seven metres off the ground.

A matte black heritage-style bracket and camera is proposed.
