·  To work with other public space CCTV schemes to improve co-ordination and explore potential for sharing costs.

·  To seek external capital investment to provide a more effective Southwark CCTV system which will reduce revenue costs, improve performance and be able to respond more flexibly to intelligence led deployment.
