To consider the report of the Community Safety Manager.
Minutes:
The Committee received a report of the Community Safety Manager on the current position with the relocation of the CCTV control room. Following Local Government Reorganisation, Cheshire East Council had inherited 3 independent CCTV systems which it was proposed to relocate and harmonise into one at Macclesfield in a new suite as part of the ICT/CCTV Capital Programme.
The control room at Crewe had now been relocated to Macclesfield following a requirement to vacate its former premises. The control room at Sandbach was relocated to Macclesfield on 30 June. There had been a short period of a few hours when CCTV coverage had not been maintained during both moves but the local Police had been aware of this. The CCTV service would move into a new control room at Macclesfield in November and full benefits and cost savings would be achieved.
RESOLVED: That
(a) the update be received;
(b) all members of the Committee be invited to visit the CCTV control room at Macclesfield; and
(c) an update on the visit be made to the next meeting of the Committee.
