CCTV Provision Review- Worcester City


After my eagerly anticipated visit to the CCTV facility on Friday 3rd August 2012, I am pleased to state that I was impressed with the level of service that we are offering. There is 24 hr Coverage 365 days a year at the centre & the quality of the Images are very high. The data transfer rates are exceptionally high, with the final refresh rate delay being in milliseconds to negligible.

 The service is exceptionally well run and key incident hot spots are known to the CCTV operators who monitor them constantly. Members of the public should feel safe and secure in the knowledge that our CCTV network is maintained to a high standard and regular servicing/checks are done in order for the network to be running at optimum levels. The new maintenance contractor Delaware have done a very good job after taking over from Integral on May  1ST,  whilst making efficiency savings in the process.
There is regular contact with the Police and a high level of co-operation and cohesion exists between the two, which only acts to enhance the service that citizens of the city receive and I commend the Police and CCTV operations team in Pershore for this.

I will be looking for ways of improving the level of service on offer and one area in particular I shall be targetting is for a direct radio link for the CCTV room.

Royal Porcelain- Abandoned Building and Gulls

    The site of the former Porcelain Factory was once a proud heritage asset for our city, sold of years ago to a national builder Berkley Homes.   To one side it is occupied and to the other you could be forgiven to think that it was an abandoned haunted house in the woods which time has forgotten. Over time rats/Gulls and Pigeons have taken over the building causing a huge nuisance to the local residents the roof collapsed and some action was taken to board up the windows. Residents have contacted us and we have taken action – We have been in contact with enforcement officers to ask them to serve notice on the developer to put new windows in and to restore it to its former glory. We have also been in contact with Gull control officers to ask them to implement gull control measures in the area. Developers must be held to account and not just scarper from a site once they have made their money.   We will be writing to the developer to express our concer...

A New Swimming Pool A step Closer

10:20am Friday 22nd June 2012 Worcester News Article A NEW £13 million swimming pool could be built in Worcester – with council chiefs calling it a “golden opportunity to create something great”. The city council’s cabinet has formally backed an option to build a new pool next to Perdiswell Leisure Centre. It will be include a 25-metre, eight-lane pool, a learner pool, 150-station gym, dance studios, creche, 250 seats for spectators and parking for up to 350 cars. The two five-a-side football pitches will be resurfaced and rearranged. The council will launch a public consultation in September and October to make sure the public’s view does not differ from its own, and is seeking funding. The current building will be demolished once the new leisure centre is open, which is estimated to be February 2016.

Community and The Big Society

'It’s no new, modern creation; no complex, mysterious concept; its people helping people for the greater good; its individuals taking more responsibility for themselves and their neighborhoods; its communities being empowered to shape their place, to find and deliver solutions to local challenges together' (1). So why may you ask am I writing this a year on from David Cameron’s Big Society Concept?  I suppose it’s to highlight; that it’s kind of been there all along, in various forms and guises. The Asian community when first arriving to this country were the epitome of the Big Society Concept; ‘as Asian communities have historically lived in extended families that included grandparents, parents, aunties and uncles acting as unpaid nannies and baby sitters for young children; carers for the elderly and guardians of young adults’(2) . The Asian community, to many people may seem closed and misunderstood to the outside world, but underneath that illusion, a whole host of...
