One of the new CCTV cameras around the shops in Dimbles Lane.

We operate a variety of cameras across the district including:

  • CCTV cameras in retail areas/car parks in Lichfield and Burntwood in partnership with Three Spires Shopping centre.
  • CCTV systems at the council house and our depot.
  • Our waste and streetscene vehicles are fitted with CCTV cameras.
  • We may use fly tipping surveillance cameras.

CCTV is a television system which operates on a closed loop basis. Unlike broadcast television, which is available to anyone with a suitable receiver, CCTV pictures are only available to those directly connected to the loop, which in Lichfield District’s case, is the monitoring control room based in the Three Spires Management suite.

We comply with the government’s surveillance camera code of practice which is detailed in our CCTV code of practice, which describes why and how we use CCTV systems.

Our regulation and enforcement officers also wear body worn cameras - read our body worn video policy to find out more.
