Who’s watching out?
I don’t know how many of Derwentside CCTV’s cameras are out of action at any one time. What’s more I don’t know if anyone else does either! That’s why I’ve written to ask if any statistics exist on the subject. I’m taking my role of data champion seriously as you can see.
The thought was prompted by somebody saying to me that they’s been told that half of the cameras didn’t have any film in. Now I know that statistic is wrong. None of them have any film in - they’re all digital!
On a more serious note, I was interested to read a BBC report tonight that showed that in Nottingham people said they didn’t feel any safer after CCTV cameras were installed. You can read the report at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7293928.stm
If you have strong feelings on the subject, why not leave a comment.
have your say
