Decision:

To bid for funding to improve CCTV in Pier Ward and St John’s Ward, Clacton from the Safer Streets Fund in conjunction with Essex Police.

Alternative options considered:

If we are successful with our bid for funding there will be the requirement to find 20% match funding, however much of this is already in existing budgets.
These particular locations are the only ones in Tendring that can be considered for this funding. The alternative to bidding for this funding is to either not invest in CCTV improvements or to find the money from a different source.
