3) A percentage and number breakdown on reasons for them not being in use, ie vandalised, faulty, outdated equipment etc
4) Where there were faulty cameras, I would like details on how long it took for those faults to be fixed. I am looking for data on the date a camera was reported faulty and then a date for when it was fully operational again.
5) Details on how often CCTV systems in your area are reviewed, when was the last time the systems were reviewed or audited as a whole to check suitability rather than fault fixing specific cameras. - Decision
