Santa Margalida town hall deputy mayor and the delegate for Can Picafort, Joan Monjo, says that the town hall is studying the possibility of installing security cameras on the Can Picafort and Son Baulo beaches.
Monjo highlights incidents of theft as well as complaints regarding the number of illegal sellers and masseuses as reasons for considering the cameras. The town hall is also looking at installing them at municipal buildings and other facilities, such as the Green Point. Recently renovated, this is still the target for the theft of metals.
The local police would administer the cameras and data. The town hall has, however, yet to seek permission from the national government delegation to the Balearics. As this is the body with responsibility for security matters in Majorca, it has the ultimate say on whether cameras trained on the "public way" can be installed or not.
