Wirral Smart car only for illegal parking

3:40pm Tuesday 7th July 2009


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.

Here he is with his pole obsession. Because, like ANY cctv camera it'd be useless 6 foot off the ground. Let it go Spiffy, it's just a parking enforcement camera, get over it.

Gott in Himmel Sibradbury, Spiffy is asking a perfectly sensible question, the best person to answer that perfectly sensible question is the perfectly sensible Jean Quinn of Streetscene, not you. If Jean doesn't know the answer, she can ask one of the 'trained and experienced professionals', they can tell her, and she can pass it on via this website.If no answer is forthcoming then people can draw their own conclusions, but I personally, will fear the worst.

And there HE is childishly following me around a newspaper website desperately trying to deflect attention away from my question - which is considered to be a perfectly sensible by at least one other person than myself (Dante)- perhaps more.

What is with THAT obsession ? You have problems, seriously.

Surely the answer is that the higher it is the better and further it can see and consequently make more money than a camera at street level
