Government urged to scrap CCTV parking camera ban

Hi Bloggers,

Local authorities are being urged to scrap plans to ban CCTV cameras used to enforce parking rules. The Local Government Association said banning CCTV would not reduce tickets but would put schoolchildren and other vulnerable pedestrians at risk. Although a local government minister said the cameras are an excuse to raise money by issuing fines on an ‘’industrial scale’’.

Parking CCTV cameras are used to tackle dangerous parking outside schools, prevent motorists illegally blocking driveways, loading bays and bus lanes, and to stop people posing a risk to pedestrians by driving along and parking on pavements.

Local Government Association (LGA) argues that the cameras serve as a deterrent especially outside schools. Without these cameras children and people with disabilities could be at an increased danger.
