More and more towns are installing CCTV cameras on their streets, as a security measure against crime, but many see it as an intrusion into their privacy.

Well, thanks to a grant from the Provincial Council of Granada, around half of the municipalities in the province will have the funds to instal CCTV surveillance.

Each one of the 90 chosen municipalities will receive 7,042 euros, although the bigger the muncipality; the bigger the sum, logically. However, the maximum grant for this is set at 12,040 euros.

The grant can also be used for modernising outdated IT equipment and software, which would improve the efficiency of the system that CCTV cameras are connected to.

The 90 municipalities are: Los Guájares; Otura; Gualchos, Escúzar; Calicasas; Pinos Genil; Alicún de Ortega; Lecrín; Chimeneas; Válor; Purullena; Dílar, Alhendín; Capileira; Albuñol; Huétor Santillán; Dúdar; La Peza; Darro; Alpujarra de la Sierra; Bérchules; Guadahortuna; Colomera; Cogollos Vega; Moraleda de Zafayona; Quéntar; Láchar; Soportújar; Fonelas; Guadix; Torvizcón; Lobras; Agrón; Güéjar Sierra; Marchal; Guevéjar; Campotéjar; Fuente Vaqueros; Cuevas del Campo; Villamena; Villanueva Mesía; Almegíjar; Bubión; Moclín; Orce; Vélez de Benaudalla; Dúrcal; Gójar; Cogollos de Guadix; Churriana de la Vega; Píñar; Chauchina; Algarinejo; Pedro Martínez; Dehesas de Guadix; Polícar; Carataunas; Banamaurel; Polopos; Órgiva; Murtas; Pórtugos; Lugros; Pulianas; Salar; Lanteira; Beas de Guadix; Ugíjar; Gobernador; Bácor-Olivar; Cúllar; Torrenueva Costa; Montejícar; Zagra; Cacín; Huétor Vega; Santa Cruz del Comercio; Jerez del Marquesado; Cuevas del Campo; Dehesas de Guadix; Morélabor; Aldeire; Benalúa de Guadix; Puebla de don Fadrique; Huéneja; Monachil; Alhama de Granada and Valle del Zalabí (Charches, Alcudia & Exfiliana).
