_______________________________________________________________
Mr
Roger Belcher gave a presentation on his ideas for possible CCTV to
protect the Alfred Major. He focused on the main problem areas of the play
ground and the Outdoor Fitness Zone. Using wireless technology, Mr Belcher
would wish to erect a pole in the school playground with at least three
cameras attached to view the play area. The school would also have the
option to attach a camera to protect their playground. The cameras could
be programmed to record for selected periods of time such as dusk to dawn.
A monitor would be placed in the Parish Office for viewing the footage.
The images would be good enough for prosecution. Councillors were then
invited to ask questions.
The
session ended with the following action: the Clerk would copy Mr
Belcher’s written notes to all Cllrs; Mr Belcher would provide a more
in-depth quote for the CCTV system; the Clerk and Chairman would continue
to follow-up possible funding; a group of Councillors would meet with the
school in September to discuss this further.
