A CONTROVERSIAL £600,000 CCTV system will be officially launched in the Ribble Valley next week.
But one borough councillor has stood by his claim that the system may prove costly and ineffective.
Nine cameras installed in Clitheroe town centre in 1994 have been replaced and a further 11 put up in Clitheroe and Whalley, including four in the grounds of Clitheroe Castle.
There will also be three "roving" cameras at trouble hotspots.
The launch ceremony in the Ribble Valley Council chambers will be hosted by the Mayor, Coun Joyce Holgate and attended by council, police and business leaders.
But Coun Allan Knox, who represents the St James' ward of Clitheroe, is calling for its effectiveness to be monitored.
