Dear all, I just happened to have been on the phone to them! The situation is this: the Shoreditch Digital Bridge project was a time-limited local digital TV pilot funded through the EU and the Shoreditch Trust. It incorporated a CCTV channel on the system whereby residents could watch certain CCTV cameras. The project ended in June and the system was removed. The technological platform on which it was based ('Digital Bridge') is now owned by the T4 company, who are trying to sell the system to other local authorities, the first of which will be Norwich sometime next year. However, Norwich are not interested in the CCTV element, this will simply be a local digital TV system. Indeed there are currently no plans to introduce the CCTV system anywhere, however I am keeping in touch with them and if such a possibility does arise, will leap in there with a research plan! All the best, David.
