RESOLVED:

1. That In absence of any further partner funding commitment to support the most popular option from consultation (Option 4), and to help meet the Council’s savings target, to approve Option 1 with monitoring of CCTV moving to a “best endeavours” approach where staff’s priority will be responding to out of hours service calls, rather than CCTV monitoring. 

2. To agree to explore with partners the feasibility of a volunteer programme to provide additional monitoring capacity. This could provide additional active monitoring capacity during specific identified peaks and higher risk times.  

3. That the Council and other partners continue to seek other funding options to help support additional CCTV monitoring.
