Rejected petition Install CCTV Cameras on the High Road, Barnet

I would like the Barnet Council to install CCTV cameras in the High Road as there is none, and the residents don't feel safe anymore.

More details

Lately, loads of burglaries happened, both cars and houses.
On social media groups of Barnet, I read quite a lot of stories of burglary. This is getting quite constant, we would like some cameras to be installed, as not everyone has a camera in the front of their house.
My car has been stolen in November, by the burglar scanning my car key, then the next day two more happened in my area, and so it went.
