Last night's BBC local news - "East Midlands Today" - announced the news that Derby City Council have decided to switch off 12 of the cameras under their control, with the remainder under review (so they must be money earners).
Additionally they announced that the council was going to switch off 15% of the city street lights at various times of the night in order to reduce spend on electricity.
And my view on this? It's a sensible move in the right direction. We don't need a big brother nanny state. Sensible solutions to real problems not over the top solutions to problems that don't exist until the solution is put in place - the imaginary problems of those that have nothing better to do than witter and worry their lives away. A hearty "Well done!" to Derby City Council.
