I think it's a bit misleading asking should it remain open to public use when clearly it is, only people wishing to use it will have to register to do so, also saying more than 10,000 journeys are made on the road daily is misleading when infact Sean Lyons was quoted in the Telegraph saying there are around 10,000 vehicle movements daily on the Scunthorpe works.

Kevin, thank you for your comments they are much appreciated.  For Bernard and I the greatest concern is the potential for Broughton and Appleby residents to be falsely accused of crimes - the use of ANPR would, in our opinion, provide the possibility for vehicle cloning and thus for false accusations to be made.

If Bernard and I are elected as representatives for the Broughton and Appleby ward, we would want to undertake more in-depth consultation.  An opinion poll is only a snap-shot of public opinion and the result would need greater qualitative data to back up its conclusion. 

Finally, accepted the number of vehicle movements on the road probably is innaccurate however, in our defence, any other data is unavailable.  Clearly, if elected and if opposition to the proposals is strong enough, wider consultation and more in depth background would be sought.

Many Thanks, Paul Redfern
