A briefing paper that aims to equip local authority leaders with foundational knowledge and tools to explore & implement commercialisation initiatives in a legally sound and community-focused manner​.
 
In today's challenging economic climate, UK Local Authorities & Councils are under increasing pressure to find innovative ways to generate revenue and sustain public services. One area garnering attention is the potential commercialisation of public space Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) centres. These centres, originally established to enhance community safety and crime prevention, represent a significant investment in infrastructure and technology. Leveraging them for commercial purposes could provide much-needed financial relief and improved services for communities.
 
This briefing paper, Overcoming Legal and Other Obstacles in Public Space CCTV Commercialisation, serves as a practical guide for CCTV User Group members within UK Local Authorities & Councils considering the commercialisation of their public CCTV operations (51 pages).
