CCTV Camera installed at Elgol finds protest by locals
The local people of the fishing village of Elgol claim that the surveillance society of modern Britain’s cities and town has no place in their island which consists of a tranquil community.
The locals find this place a very beautiful and crimeless, also no social disorder and things like that. This is a place where the tourists stand and admire the views across the water, dolphins, whales and sharks. Children often play on the beach and the fishing boats are unloaded here.
Having a CCTV camera installed may have a negative impact on the tourists visiting this place is what the locals think. In a place like Elgol with a peaceful community the disputes are settled within and the CCTV camera poses as an unwanted interference to the people. It has been only couple of weeks that the CCTV camera has been installed have managed to find petitions signed by about 80 villagers.

Again we see the limited understanding of Surveillance cameras. Someone should point out to the council the video content can be used as marketing material and promote more visitors to come an spend money in such a quite, safe area.
Tourist in a British village? That most likely is the underlying problem.
