Report of the Cabinet Member Housing and Safety

RESOLVED THAT

1.      the merger and full digital upgrade of the Town Centre and Car Park CCTV systems be approved in principle

2.      the temporary extension of the current Town Centre CCTV maintenance contract until procurement processes are completed for the upgrading works be approved;

3. authority be delegated to the Director of Environmental and Regulatory Services in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing and Safety, to approve appropriate specification requirements for tender processes, and agree the capital and revenue implications within existing resources

4. one contractor is appointed to carry out this agreed work, as well as undertaking the maintenance contract for the merged system be approved

The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety introduced the report which proposed the merger of the Town Centre and Car Parks CCTV systems which was compatible with an upgrade from analogue to digital systems. This would be a more cost effective system and would be monitored remotely by Gloucestershire Police. He added that the scheme would result in cost savings and the scheme would be delivered by the existing unspent capital budget for town centre and car parking CCTV. The Cabinet Member also explained that there would be one maintenance contract to cover a merged system and this would be more cost effective.

The Leader commented that this was a proposal for agreement in principle and the cost implications would be assessed once the tendering process was complete. It would therefore be subject to further scrutiny.
