A controversial parking company is asking for permission to keep a CCTV camera at a car park in an area of Wirral.
Smart Parking has applied for planning permission to keep a pole-mounted ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) camera at the Roy Castle charity shop car park in Heswall. The camera will be used to recognise number plates.
The company manages car parks across the UK and says it provides a “combination of cutting edge hardware including ANPR camera technology, Pay & Walk machines, vehicle detection sensors and, where needed, mobile patrols.”
