We have footfall cameras at three different sites in Scarborough town centre to monitor the number of people who walk past. The camera sites are:

above 88 Westborough - camera one

The cameras calculate the number of people walking past and send this data to Springboard, a leading provider of locational performance insights. You can find out more on the Springboard website. Springboard sends us a report that shows the percentage change in footfall every month. We use this data to help us identify footfall trends in the town centre.
