AN Oxford college is hoping a new CCTV camera will help crack down on criminal behaviour in the city centre.

St Peter's has applied for permission to stick the camera on the corner of the Law Centre – the church-like building at the top of New Road on the left.

In its application to Oxford City Council the college said the primary purpose was to 'aid in the detection and prevention of criminal activity' in the Law Centre car park but also the old Oxford Central Conservative Club next door.
