  “Norwich is one of the worst cities for CCTV, so on 1984 Action Day a few of us who don’t want to live in Orwell’s 1984 went into town and did something. We held up boards with information about CCTV and the myths about it, like the notion that it ‘stops crime’ (it doesn’t). We had a lot of interest from people on the day. We displayed maps of the CCTV cameras in Norwich and people were generally shocked at how many there are. They hadn’t really noticed before.”
