WEC CCTV Team Delivers Rapid Emergency Column Replacement in Knutsford

When an unexpected incident caused a CCTV column in Knutsford to be struck by a passing truck, the situation had the potential to cause significant disruption. For the local authority, fast action was essential to maintain safety, visibility and security in the area. That is where the WEC CCTV team stepped in.

Called at short notice, our engineers mobilised immediately to assess the damage and put an urgent recovery plan in place. Within six hours, the damaged column was safely decommissioned, a brand new replacement installed, and the entire site reinstated to its original condition. Our goal was to make the process seamless and efficient, and the team worked with precision to ensure everything was completed as if we had never been there.

The response was widely praised by Cheshire East Council. Stuart Hobson, Public Space CCTV and Emergency Control Centre Manager, shared his appreciation for the coordinated effort, saying:
"Massive appreciation to Reflex Systems Ltd, Keble Heath Construction Limited and WEC CCTV alongside the new, awesome Traffic Management team at Keble Heath. A true example of collaboration done right."
