Purpose: To consider Public space CCTV

Content: To consider Public space CCTV That a public consultation will take place to consider the installation of public space CCTV in Summerton Way, Stratford-upon-Avon. Stratford-on-Avon District Council has been aware of concerns from residents about anti-social behaviour taking place around the alleyways near the scout hut and the top end of Summerton Way. As a result the council have worked closely with Warwickshire Police to address these concerns. Funding obtained by Warwickshire County Council through the Shared Prosperity Fund has allowed for the opportunity for CCTV to be installed at this location. As a part of this approach two new CCTV cameras are proposed to be installed and monitored by the council’s CCTV service. The purpose of these cameras would be to detect and prevent crime and provide community reassurance.   In consideration of installing CCTV the council wishes to consult with residents, nearby businesses and community groups to obtain their views on the proposal. Such consultation will also inform data privacy impact assessments and ensure compliance with guidance from the Information Commissioner and Surveillance Camera Commissioners Office.   An online consultation will be carried out for an 8-week period. Local resident’s businesses and landowners near the proposed CCTV deployment will also be written to seeking their views. A number of options were considered by the Monitoring Officer, these included:   That the council undertakes a public consultation on the proposal to install public space CCTV in Summerton Way, Stratford-upon-Avon.   That the council does not undertake a public consultation and withdraws its intention to install CCTV at Summerton Way, Stratford-upon-Avon.
