The Village Association Board of Directors has approved the budget for the CCTV installation which was discussed at the AGM.

Having undertaken the Privacy Impact Assessment required by the CCTV Commissioner, the CCTV system will be implemented during March 2018. In addition, the Warden service, at their own cost, will also be implementing Body Worn Video (BWV), using the same equipment as Surrey Police.

CCTV and BWV will be deployed in The Village for the reasons of: -

1. public safety

2. the economic well-being of the estate

3. the prevention and detection of disorder and crime

4. the protection of morals

5. the protection of the rights and freedoms of others to live without fear or intimidation

The system will be operated under a Security Industry Authority Licence by the Warden Service and will comply with the CCTV Commissioners and Information Commissioners Code of Practice. Subject Access requirements are in place and anyone who believes that that images of them are retained can apply for subject access by emailing the Warden at villagewarden@gmail.com.

The Village Association believes that this use of technology will bring long-term benefits to Village residents, businesses and the users of the Village facilities.
