121.	Referral from the Council - CCTV Motion PDF 59 KB View the background to item 121. At its meeting on 18th January 2012, the Council agreed: That the following motion submitted by Councillor P. M. McDonald be referred to the Cabinet for consideration as part of the budget process so that relevant facts and figures could be reported and taken into account. “That this Council no longer monitors CCTV coverage outside of Bromsgrove and Redditch and gives due notice of this to those it may concern.” Minutes: Councillor P. M. McDonald spoke in support of the motion referred from Council which called upon the Council to cease the monitoring of CCTV coverage outside Bromsgrove and Redditch and to give due notice to those it may concern. Councillor McDonald referred to the possibility that a greater number of cameras lessened the ability of the operators to maintain full coverage. An officer report in connection to the motion was considered. The report set out the basis on which CCTV cameras were operated on behalf of Wyre Forest District Council under a Service Level Agreement (SLA) (which was due to expire in April 2012) and the implications if the SLA was not renewed. Following discussion it was RESOLVED: (a) that this Council continues to provide CCTV services outside Bromsgrove and Redditch, subject to suitable agreements being in place; and (b) that the existing SLA with Wyre Forest District Council which will expire in April 2012 be renegotiated.
