Yesterday
I warned about councillor Craske’s plan to monitor parking offences from the
fixed CCTV system and provided a photo of one of the many new signs that have
been springing up around the borough. A reader sent me a photograph of another.
What is special about his you might ask except that he took it in daylight? The
answer is that he took the photo in Greenwich. The sign is outside the Abbey
Arms public house in Abbey Wood. Craske gets everywhere.
If the sign made clear its true purpose; to warn motorists of the cameras zooming
into their registration plates, it might be welcome. However Bexley council is
telling people the CCTV is being used for public safety reasons. The appearance of
the sign on a Greenwich lamp post close to the Bexley boundary more or less proves that
its true purpose is to provide some sort of legal notification that motorists
are entering a Craske-zone but the benign wording about public safety more or
less proves that Craske is intent on deception. Plus ça change!
