CCTV Car still causing mischief !


Havering Council's CCTV smart cars are still giving out tickets left, right and centre it would seem, following a question to Council by Councillor Andrew Mann recently.


When the Cabinet member for StreetCare (Cllr Barry Tebbutt) was asked by Cllr Mann how many tickets the cars had issued to to date in the 2008 / 2009 year, the answer was an amazing 14,240 tickets(from 1st April to 23rd November).


This is on top of the 24,000 that was issued in the part year of 2007 / 2008, the full year to june was 26,837. In a second question by Cllr Mann, he asked how much income was produced by the CCTV car for the municipal year 2007/08.


The answer was £875,702.43, this was for only a part year, as the car did not start until mid June, so in a full year the figure would be over £1 million.
