Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:
On the 13th November 2014 the Cabinet of the Council resolved that the control room be retained in the medium term at its current location but with financial provision made to co-locate it and a tender exercise undertaken for the replacement of the control system, cameras, and mobile CCTV equipment.
This report now seeks approval from Cabinet for the required option to achieve the above.
Decision:

“To go into a partnership with BT for them to be responsible for all camera upgrades including equipment and network, maintenance and transmission costs. Canterbury City Council to monitor our cameras in their control centre at Canterbury.”
Reasons for the decision:
Option 4 is pursued as it provides the best value for money and the most stable and sustainable for the CCTV service over future years.
Alternative options considered:
Options 1, 2 & 3 were considered but option 4 is the best option.
