113 CCTV Relocation pdf icon PDF 64 KB

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.
