The Mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon, Cllr Bill Dowling hosted a meeting at Stratford Town Hall on Monday 17 October to discuss CCTV services in the town.
A number of interested parties attended the meeting including representatives from Stratford Town Council, Parish & Town Councils with CCTV, Stratford Town Trust, Stratford District Council, Warwickshire Police, Bard Watch and StratForward to look at different models of improving CCTV.
Cllr Mike Brain, Technical Services Portfolio says: “Decisions to reduce CCTV services were taken as part of the budget setting process at the beginning of the year and were based on findings following a budget consultation exercise with residents. Local businesses, Parish and Town Councils and the Police all benefit from the CCTV services and given the current climate we must now try to work with a number of these partner organisations, looking a new ways of delivering our CCTV services."
Both Cllr Mike Brain and the Mayor considered the meeting to be 'extremely positive' and the group will meet again in November to further discussions which will feed into the report to the District Council's Cabinet in due course.
