At the present time the CCTV equipment and transmission links are being renewed across the market towns in a bid to reduce the annual fibre optic costs. This in turn will reduce the overall annual revenue budget. In each market town Ledbury, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye there will be one digital fibre optic with all of the analogue fibre optics being decommissioned. The new digital fibre optics are charged for on a five year contract.
There are 4 analogue fibre circuits which are still required for cameras in Hereford city. The current contract for the analogue circuits ceases on 31 March 2020. A new five year contract for the analogue circuits will allow for both of the BT Redcare contracts to cease on the same date.
