Issue - meetings

The Cabinet considered a report on an updated CCTV Code of Practice, as set out in Appendix 1 of the report.  In the process of developing the new Code of Practice, relevant officers and members of the Overview Board had been consulted and an additional recommendation from the Overview Board was set out in the report.  The Council had a responsibility to produce a CCTV Code of Practice to ensure that the CCTV Scheme operated fairly and within the law; the images captured were usable and reassurance was given to those whose images were being captured. 

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the CCTV Code of Practice as set out in Appendix 1 to the report be approved and adopted; and

(b)       that officers be tasked to investigate the possibility of the Council charging insurance companies for CCTV footage to be provided for insurance claim purposes.
