Talking CCTV captures the attention of the British public in what is fast becoming the most popular government expenditure. At least the cameras work unlike the new government computer systems.Djs will be voice of new talking street camera

Northampton's network of controversial Big Brother-style 'talking' CCTV cameras has been brought into action.

Enhanced CCTV, comprising speakers mounted near pre-existing cameras, will allow control room operators to verbally warn anyone they spot misbehaving in certain areas of the town centre.

Although the scheme will try to stamp out littering and other minor anti-social behaviour, Brendan Glynane (Lib Dem, Far Cotton) said the most significant side-effect will be to stop serious violence at night.

He said: "I think a lot has been said about the littering side of these systems but it will make thousands of people coming into town to have a good time each weekend feel a lot safer.

"They will give people more confidence in CCTV by showing the public there are actually people being monitored.
