The box then broadcasts a pre-recorded voice message to everyone within ear shot.

Is it April fool's day?!?!

Yet another silly idea paid for out of our Council Tax.

How long will it be before the devices start playing adverts for shops and businesses? Or perhaps I could do an audio blog and get the devices to play that back....

Have you read Ivor’s blog today? Click on the “Opinion” link on the menu on the left then click on “Readers Blogs”.

I passed one of these boxes today, it said "shut up Ivor"

:)

Would almost make more sense to have them where there is no CCTV...

Why double up?

Sadly, it may be just more noise, in our increasingly noisy world.

Wycombe's lampost-seeking dogs will get a surprise as well!

this country really is getting worse

Passers-by are being told they are on CCTV by electronic devices strapped to walls and lampposts.Not in High Wycombe there not !! Both Car parks DO NOT have cctv camera s in them!! as anyone who parks there will tell you. The boxes are warning motorists "not to leave Valuables in their vehicles" Dont know where the Bfp gets it s stories from but maybe they should take a trip out to one of the carparks and listen to the message before printing Bulshit !!!!!

Just Wycombese.

Councillor Tony Green, a CONSERVATIVE councillor (d!ckhead) who should be ashamed of himself. This 'idea' is evident that the lunatics really have taken over the asylum.

Secondly, no wonder the Police do not wish to investigate the Council for fraud, when they have become Partners.

Lo_Wycombe, I suspect you have too much time on your hands :-))

Pretty soon it will broadcast the Thoughts of Chairman Gordon Brown, and play uplifting music to urge the masses to strive for the Collective Good. Orwell would be smiling wryly in his grave.

I hope that list of languages was cut and pasted. How long before the boxes are treated as targets for stone throwing chavs?
