Stratford-on-Avon District's CCTV system has received the British Standard Accreditation which recognises good management and practice for a seventh year.

The District's CCTV is now operated in partnership with local towns and parishes.

Cllr Gillian Roache, Community Safety, Health & Well Being Portfolio says: “It is vital that we can reassure our local communities that the CCTV in the District is accountable and professionally run.  Gaining this accreditation shows what an excellent CCTV operation we have in the District.  CCTV is a valuable community safety resource that provides peace of mind and reassurance and together with partners we are able to maintain this highly acclaimed service for residents, businesses and visitors alike."

There are 88 cameras, installed at strategically positioned locations in Stratford, Shipston, Alcester, Southam, Bidford, Wellesbourne and Studley recording real time footage 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is then fed via optical fibre cabling back to the monitoring centre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Accreditation under British Standard 7958 follows a comprehensive assessment based on 120 separate criteria.
