Funding support available for CCTV for Antrim and Newtownabbey businesses

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council has launched Phase 2 of its CCTV Grant Programme, offering financial support to businesses across the borough. This initiative helps cover the cost of installing external, public-facing CCTV systems at commercial premises. If you're considering improving the security of your site, this funding could help you move forward with the right system in place.

Who can apply

The grant is available to commercial premises located within the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough. To be eligible, the CCTV system must be installed on the outside of your building and be directed towards public areas. This includes entrances, footpaths, car parks, and other spaces accessible to staff, customers, or the wider community.

What the grant covers 

The funding can be used to support the purchase and installation of external, public-facing CCTV systems. This includes cameras, recording equipment, and any supporting infrastructure needed to operate the system. The aim is to help deter criminal activity and promote a safer environment for businesses, employees, and visitors.
