Decision details

The Executive Member for Community Safety and Environment submitted a report on proposed arrangements for the incorporation of a new company to conduct the commercial trading affairs of the Hertfordshire CCTV Partnership.  The Partnership comprised Stevenage Borough Council, North Herts District Council, East Herts Council and Hertsmere Borough Council.

The proposal had arisen from a lengthy and protracted investigation by the CCTV Partnership, as detailed in the report now submitted.  It was recommended that a company to conduct the Partnership’s commercial CCTV affairs in the most effective, efficient and economical way for each of the partners, be created.

In response to Members’ questions, the Director of Neighbourhood Services commented that the Directors on the new Board would have to be trained for their role.  The Leader stated that Councillor J Thornton’s view that the majority of Board Members should not be Officers would be noted and considered.

The Leader praised the work of the partnership and suggested that perhaps another visit to the CCTV Centre would be of interest to Members.

The Executive approved the proposals as now detailed.

RESOLVED - that (A) the report be received; and

(B)      the incorporation of a new company to conduct the commercial trading affairs of the Hertfordshire CCTV Partnership, be approved.
