For what it's worth! I queried the implications of setting up the
Great Harwood Webcam with regards to privacy rights. 11 months later, I got my first response from the information commissioner's office.

The Great Harwood webcam doesn't record - I thought it would avoid any privacy problems. Since it was installed, both the police and the press have been in touch to find out if they can get saved video to help with two separate incidents.
(As it happens, in both cases there would not have been anything they could use even if it did record.)
