At yesterday's council annual meeting, Robin Smith had five motions, ranging from greenery to CC-TV cameras, go through unopposed.

One sought extra loading zones near the mall so that vehicles did not drive into the pedestrian thoroughfare.

He said that on several occasions he had seen vehicles drive "dangerously close to children" there.

"One in particular involved an armoured truck driving at a slow crawl though the playground fractionally missing a child at play," the Coffee Republic owner said.

Several in the audience - made up of aldermen, council staff and about 15 members of the public - supported his call for the council to regularly clean the privately owned laneway between Charles Street and Birchall's car park.

The council said it had cleaned the alley once a week until its owner cancelled the contract last year.

The mall's CC-TV camera set-up has long been a bugbear for Mr Smith, who asked that they be numbered.

He said a numbering system would aid the public and Tasmania Police, who watched more than 250 live cameras from their Hobart radio room.

He also asked who was responsible for the cameras' maintenance given that a large number of insects were in their protective casings.

Mr Smith has raised the issue previously, including in 2010 when he sent the council a photo of a camera lens obscured by what he described as a smiling cockroach.

The council said it liaised with police regarding the location, coverage and maintenance of the cameras.

It repeated a statement given to Mr Smith earlier in the year that it was working with police on portable camera technologies.

The motions will be considered by Launceston aldermen.
