(Report of the Chair of the Review Panel)  To approve the scope and terms of reference for the Scrutiny Review on the Community Safety Role of CCTV.

Members received this report to approve the scope and terms of reference for the Scrutiny Review on the Community Safety Role of CCTV.

The committee noted that Members of the Overview & Scrutiny committee had indicated their interest in undertaking a scrutiny review on the use of CCTV within the borough.  The Executive Member for Crime and Community Safety and the Borough Commander have also requested that the Community Safety Team undertake a review on the effectiveness of CCTV within the Borough in order to inform decisions about the future use of resources and to develop appropriate options for partners to consider.  The committee noted that these two processes were being developed so that they would work in tandem.

The committee noted that the issue of CCTV on housing estates was to be considered at the first meeting of the Review group, and Members were encouraged to become involved in the review.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the scope and terms of reference for the review be approved.
