Plans for 52 story tower Bishops Place stall again. One things for sure, the building site covers the cars in the Smartinfo car park next to the site in dust, we have to wash them more than Addison Lee!

It was strange viewing the first part of “Top Boy” on Channel 4 set in London with a theme about drug dealing. There was a segment of the programme showing the feature drug dealer gang being robbed by an opposing gang of their drugs stash and their competitors for the same trade.
With all the money in the illicit drugs business the most surprising aspect of this was the lack of surveillance equipment to protect their distribution point. Why did they not install a modern Telephone system linked to CCTV system for protection. A door entry system , linked through the
telephone system and protect the access door.
The modern handsets have large enough screens that when connected to the telephone system the images of any wishing to enter the building will be projected from the CCTV cameras on to the handsets. The use of smartphones linked to the CCTV and Telephone system could further enhance protection.
Perhaps in later episodes of “Top Boy” more sophisticated methods are adopted and CCTCV and Telephone systems will be de rigueur….
