Council plans to develop the road junction between Alfreton Road, Bobbers Mill Road and Churchfield Road include the installation of CCTV. The council’s explanation of and justification for the scheme have been described by a Notttingham Indymedia reader as “confusing.”

The proposed Nottingham camera is at a busy junction with a mosque on it at the heart of the Bobbers Mill area, which has a large Muslim population. It is also a major route in and out of Hyson Green and Forest Fields, which also have large Muslim and immigrant populations. I wonder what reassurances the City Council have for concerned locals that they won’t be using this camera to monitor who is coming in and out of these areas? I wonder what kind of access to their data the police will have?
