The town hall has just signed off on a 100,000-euro plan to install more CCTV cameras across the municipality, in order to boost both road safety and public security.
The new cameras will be placed in some key areas to keep track of traffic flow, spot incidents quicker, and also make life easier for locals and visitors. They’ll join the network of devices already in use, but with some upgraded tech that plugs into an intelligent management system. In other words: the town is entering into the age of smart surveillance.
Officials say the move is designed to bring peace of mind, cutting down on congestion, crime, and general chaos. The mayor, Jesús Lupiáñez, described it as “a firm and decisive step forward” toward keeping the town safe.
While some might side-eye the Big Brother vibes, the plan reflects a trend along the entire Malaga area: mixing smart-city tech with day-to-day life. Velez-Malaga isn’t just investing in cameras; is making the streets more responsive to what actually happens on the ground.
Whether it’s handling traffic jams on a summer afternoon or dealing with late-night altercations, the system is a practical tool for modern urban living. For residents, that means fewer headaches and, hopefully, a safer, calmer town.
