Controversial CCTV cameras were unveiled by Barnet Council in Hampden Square, Brunswick Park, on Friday last week (April 25)
Tory Brunswick Park councillor Andreas Tambourides campaigned for years for CCTV in Hampden Square, but was repeatedly told by police that it was not a high crime area. The Conservatives, allegedly because they were seeking to gain seats in the marginal Brunswick Park and East Barnet wards, promised CCTV to residents before last year's election. The district auditor is investigating the move after complaints from Labour that public money has been spent for political purposes.
Cameras were also unveiled in East Barnet Village on the same day.
