Minutes:
The Mayor introduced the report proposing that the Council entered into a contract to procure additional police and security officers to operate on the Council’s estates. He noted that crime and the fear of crime were big priority issues for residents and that this action would help address those concerns.
The programme had a good track record and the Council had a good relationship with the local police force. It was also explained that the report proposed the cost of the service be recouped through small charges to tenants and leaseholders.
The Mayor noted the pre-decision scrutiny questions and officer responses and in particular noted concerns around the potential costs to residents. He highlighted that a consultation exercise with residents was due to take place in the summer and he stated that he wished to see the results of that consultation before the Council proceeded with charging for services. He therefore amended the recommendations to that effect and agreed the amended recommendations.
