3. Project Overview
 A concession contract for access and use of the ducting within the
council owned CCTV infrastructure
 Our partners ITS Technology group are now able to build and promote a
new fibre optic network in our ducts that will be commercialised
 Through revenue share, an income stream will be generated for the
council
 The council is not an anchor tenant, but the network will eventually
grow to link essential council services and create efficiencies as a back
bone to connectivity within our area

4. A unique & disruptive approach
• Our department has the challenge of coming up with diverse revenue
generation schemes for the council, without investing any council funds
• We are entrepreneurial in our approach, having already delivered six
consecutive reductions in Council Tax
• The duct access concession agreement is ground breaking in it’s approach
• Since the launch of the scheme, we have been approached by several other
councils who want to emulate this model
• We had expert guidance, both in house and through our partners on navigating
the legal and commercial red tape
• We are confident that our pioneering model satisfies funding and procurement
requirements and will generate strong revenues for LBHF

5. Project Objectives
 To deliver maximum return on our assets
 To ensure the integrity of our ducting asset
 To generate an income stream for the Council
 As a long term partnership, the council have
pledged full support, in order to make the scheme
a success

6. Technical Overview
What infrastructure do we own?
 15 kilometres of duct
 Draw pits every 40 to 50 metres
 Solely used for CCTV data
