Widnes residents to be given CCTV doorbells to cut crime People living in one part of Widnes will be given CCTV doorbells in an effort to cut “cross border criminal activity”, Halton Council has announced. The plans would see between 50 and 60 of the doorbells bought for residents of Hough Green to help deter crime and provide evidence for investigations. Halton’s community safety manager, Mike Andrews, told members of the council’s Safer Policy and Performance Board on Tuesday night that the idea followed a survey of 3,200 homes in Hough Green. He told the committee that residents had raised concerns about better lighting, removal of fly-tipped waste and improved CCTV.
