8 months after they were supposed to be available for residents to access, the cameras which provide real time information on congestion levels, on key roads in York, are now working.
The inability of the Councils new camera control computer systems, to provide the kind of access that other Council have done routinely for the last 10 years, has been a source of embarrassment in the City.
Links are now also available for mobile devices.

Live camera information has been available in North Yorkshire for several years but the York equivalent has been dogged by delays despite investment of over £300,000.
The Council now says that “this additional work is now almost complete and the CCTV images should be available on the website during October / November”.
For the mobile applications the updates required will be included in the next update releases of the apps, expected later this year.”
We will see.
Shame they weren’t working for today’s Yorkshire Marathon
