“This commitment will continue as we review CCTV coverage on a regular basis and in response to individual incidents.”
He added: “Recent tragic events in Carluke have shown that no matter how much time the police devote to Carluke, CCTV offers a significant additional resource to the police for helping investigations into serious criminal activity.
“Carluke BID is very keen to maintain this strong working relationship,” added Mr Clark.
