Background Information: In October 2017, Cambridge City Council members agreed to make the installation of CCTV in licenced vehicles a mandatory condition, due to the seen benefits in safeguarding members of the public but also in the protection of drivers. Although attempts have been made in respect to the implementation of the mandatory requirement, due procurement and Covid-19 pandemic, implementation has been delayed.
