Mandate CCTV In All Taxis Across Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole

We the undersigned petition the council to We, the undersigned, call on BCP Council and Dorset Police to mandate CCTV in all licensed taxis and private hire vehicles in Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole.

Since 2010, Bournemouth has recorded 2,913 rapes, with 35% occurring in just the last three years. In the same period, 20% of all violent crime was recorded. These are not just numbers; these are people. This could be your daughter, sister, friend or colleague.

CCTV is a proven way to deter predators, protect passengers and drivers, and support police investigations. Councils including Craven, Cambridge, Sheffield, and London have already acted, so why not BCP?

We urge the Council to implement this essential safety measure immediately.

This ePetition runs from 13/06/2025 to 18/08/2025.
