CCTV has been installed at two crime hotspots in the town centre.
CCTV is now up and running at the Alhambra underpass and in Peel Square.
A council spokesperson said: "The cameras will run 24 hours a day and officers from our community safety service will have access to download any footage needed.
"The cameras will work alongside our current Public Spaces Protection Order and will allow officers to remotely observe and evidence anti-social behaviour, helping to create a safer town centre."
