Issue - meetings

To consider a report on the review of the CCTV service.

The committee received the report which sought approval to undertake a public consultation exercise on the proposed options for the CCTV delivery model.

An amendment was moved and seconded which sought to remove options do something 2, 3 and 4. This was carried unanimously.

It was noted that the only remaining option (do something 1) would be operational and therefore not require committee approval or a public consultation to be carried out.

Officer engagement with stakeholders and potential partners would, however, take place with an update report being brought to the committee, with the aim of the June 2025 meeting.

The Chair highlighted that the committee would undertake a visit to the CCTV service to further understand the scope of services offered both internally and to external partners. Officers undertook to set up this visit at an appropriate future time.

RESOLVED (unanimously):

1.    That options do something 2, 3 and 4 be rejected, leaving option do something 1 to be carried out as an operational matter

2.    That the committee endorses an approach to the Police and Crime Commissioner and Chesire Constabulary specifically in regards to a permanent revenue funding contribution towards the service, noting the level of service currently provided free of charge
