Between 1995 and 1997 the Partnership in conjunction with Erewash Borough Council submitted successful bids to the Home Office Challenge Fund for over £250,000 towards the installation of CCTV in Ilkeston and Long Eaton town centres.
Businesses in both towns came forward with pledges of support and ideas. The project provided comprehensive coverage for both towns and was officially switched on by Home Office Minister David Maclean.
