I would imagine that both the council and the contractor will want to use the
footage for their own purposes and therefore both will need to register
(notify).
I am not aware of anyone other than the police using CCTV just for the
purposes of crime detection/prevention - most systems are also used to obtain
evidence for ASBOs (civil offences) and/or recovery of civil damages. Some even use
the footage to spy on their own staff (eg flexi-time, absences and to ensure
compliance with policy).
I would imagine the bus company would need the images for health and safety
reasons as well as crime reduction.
