I think you'll find funding for cameras in many areas is outside of the LA remit and totally within the remit of CDRP's.
For your information the NTA have tried on at least two separate occasions to get the home office to speak to conference on the issue of taxi driver safety and CDRP schemes (and how they can benefit the taxi and PH trades).
The response from the Home Office is that nobody is able to speak on such schemes as the schemes are localised and differ from area to area.
Which is I'm afraid total b*llocks, as someone, somewhere along the line should be in charge of overseeing such schemes. unfortunately, it isnt considered a good approach telling government they are making a b*llocks of something. (they are rather more diplomatic than moi

)
As I stated in my initial critique, you're making theat bit up, because the simple answer is, and has been explained above.
I dont see where the DFT come into all of this. The crime issue belongs to the Home Office, as does funding.
I am sure Mr. Deegan is very much aware of the problem.
However, as the NTA conference is about 8 days away, and government will be there, if you attend, I am sure the relevant people would be delighted to answer your question.
