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.

Keep Calm and Carry On?

A sad situation which has come to light over the last month. It is in relation to a TRO on London Road between St Martin’s Church on London Road and Wych Elm Close on London Road. I heard about this TRO in December last year. I immediately let the Warden of St Martin’s church know as well as the Rev Ken Boyce about the matter as they and their Congregation would be most affected by this. The historic Church and Hall of ST Martin’s is an integral part of our community where many users use the facilities for Worship, community activities such as Fitness activities, Playgroups and meetings, parties as well as the traditional marriage ceremonies, christenings and funerals. The use of on street parking is vital to the Church and its success. The TRO proposed would effectively cause residents and Church users alike to park in already congested side streets like Victoria Avenue & Sebright Avenue or much further away, thus causing the same issues further along the road. The T...

Social Lettings Agency

City’s homeless to get their own lettings agency 8:00am Saturday 23rd June 2012 in News By Tom Edwards A NEW council-owned lettings agency is to be set up in Worcester to find vulnerable people places to live. Under the deal, residents at risk of being homeless can access private sector rental properties to keep them off the streets. The city council’s Conservative cabinet has agreed to formally back the scheme, and are hoping it will help tackle a waiting list 4,000 strong. The agency, which will be run by Worcester Community Housing, will identify landlords who want to rent out unused properties at lower rates.   A report before the cabinet, which recommended it be accepted, stated the private sector market is “closed off” to people unless they have rent in advance, references, a bank account and guarantor. As your Worcester News reported this week, 588 people were declared homeless in the city during the last year, the highest rate since 2005 and a 25 per cent surge since las...
