CCTV policy consultation

Granting permission

We will grant permission on the following conditions

  • All work is carried out at the tenant’s own cost. The Council is not liable for loss, damage, injury, or any third-party claim connected with the works.
  • Maintenance of the CCTV or video doorbell will be the tenant’s responsibility for the duration of their tenancy.  When a tenancy ends, the tenant will be required to remove the CCTV or video doorbell and make good any damage at their own cost.
  • The tenant must sign a consent form agreeing to follow the CCTV rules.
  • The CCTV must point away from a neighbour’s home and garden, shared space, or public street, and should only record withing the private space of a tenant’s home.

For permission submit a permission request via our website, the request will then be passed to your Area Housing Manager.

If CCTV causes a neighbour dispute, we will review the permission that has been granted.

If there is already a neighbour dispute which is then escalated by the introduction of CCTV, we may withdraw permission.

Where there are concerns for residents’ safety, CCTV may be allowed for a period of time.

Share your thoughts on the proposed CCTV Policy by emailing our dedicated Engagement inbox, listening@runnymede.gov.uk. Your comments will be included in the report to the Housing Committee in June 2024.
