IN response to Wirral “Spy Car”, Globe, June 24, 2009.

Wirral tax payers do not pay for the Smart CCTV car.

The car is used to target drivers parking illegally causing hazards to road users and pede-strians.

If we were to have a ‘spy car’ it would not have a council logo and camera logo on the sides of the vehicle and it would not have an 11ft mounted camera on a telescopic arm.

The drivers are trained and experienced professionals who use the car for parking enforcement; only people parking illegally have anything to fear.

Cllr Jean Quinn, Cabinet member for Streetscene & transport services.
