Issue - meetings

To give consideration to the work programme

Consideration was given to the work programme.  Councillor A Barratt reported back on his visit to the CCTV control room. He found that employees were keen and eager despite working an 11.5 hour shift without a break, as taking a break would leave only one operator manning the control room. There also appeared to be some technical problems with the system.

He also reported that the employees were responsible for the out of hour’s service and monitoring the pub watch scheme.

The Committee agreed that the Head Public Protection and Enforcementshould attend the meeting scheduled to be held on 19 December to:

·         Discuss the staffing and system problems as mentioned above

·         Provide an update on charging town and parish councils

·         Provide information on the out of hours service and pub watch scheme

RESOLVED

That the following issues be considered at the meeting scheduled to be held on 19 December 2013:

·         Presentation by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service

·         Staffing issues of the CCTV control room
