Can we assume the CCTV installed directly on the corne, looking down the road, does not work?
Amazing…
CCTV is not monitored but working. It means someone has to go in and look back at the footage to see if they notice anything if it is pointing in the correct direction. They only do that if they think it important enough. Not enough staff as usual!
