To comment on the draft project plan in relation to the review of CCTV

The Committee considered a report of the Community Safety Manager setting out a project plan for the effective delivery of the Council’s CCTV systems, including traffic monitoring systems.

Cheshire East had inherited 3 independent legacy CCTV systems, using a mix of technologies managed under individual arrangements by in-house staff or by external contractors.

The project aimed, amongst other things, to reduce the operating costs of the CCTV function, to establish a legal framework and Code of Practice, and to improve the evidential quality of images.

The Community Safety manager informed the Committee that work was currently underway to rationalise the Traffic Control cameras within the CCTV contract which may mean that the traffic control cameras would be monitored from Westfields Sandbach.

The Council was also looking at the business case for refurbishing the Macclesfield data Centre which would transform that facility into a strategic data centre which would in turn free more space at Westfields.

RESOLVED – That the report be received and noted.
