Reason for decision The Council has invested over £3.1 million in a network of brand new, state -of-the-art CCTV cameras since the major upgrade programme commenced in 2017/18 which are proving invaluable in keeping residents safe and deterring crime, anti - social behaviour and fly tipping. More than 2000 cameras have been replaced and installed since 2018. The Borough’s new network includes more fixed cameras (in town centres, at social care and housing sites, public car parks and in parks and green spaces) and 25 mobile cameras. The Council has also purchased Automatic Num ber Plate Recognition cameras, to help track criminals who use the Borough’s roads, and body -worn cameras for Council officers, which are regularly used by Council enforcement officers. The cameras provide 24 -hour coverage and are monitored by the CCTV Co ntrol Room operators. Some cameras record locally on site while the wireless infrastructure is being progressed as part of the on -going planned programme. Housing officers have identified housing sites in the Borough with high levels of anti -social b ehaviour, fly tipping and crime that would benefit from CCTV installations and upgrades of CCTV equipment. All CCTV installations will be in line with the new GDPR regulations which came into force in May 2018. A Data Impact Assessment will be carried out at each site and approved by the Statutory Data Protection Officer Alternative options considered and rejected None.
