Local Level homeThe Local Level website, where I try to earn a little income, has had a complete overhaul, over here. Huge thanks to my colleague Martin Dudley who has done most of the techtweaking.

Keeping an eye on surveillance "CCTV usually achieves very little on its own, it needs to be part of more comprehensive security planning; it works much better in access-managed areas along with a guardianship presence, community support and a response capacity. Policing, security and crime prevention are social relationships and if these are characterised mainly by division, mistrust and inequality, CCTV surveillance technologies are likely to exacerbate social problems and tensions." Peter Squires, University of Brighton, in a European Urban Knowledge Network interview.

Locally global Facebook fans amongst customers of a furniture store in Belgium are allowed exclusive use of a number of parking places at the company's stores. Will those who can't find a space go home and sign up, or go elsewhere for their stuff? I guess the idea could become quite interesting if it gets generalised to local traders in a specific place; or if it were adopted in the public sector - a leisure centre for instance? Right now, I'm curious to know whether the basic point is appreciated by all the prats who argued a few years ago that digital technologies meant the death of distance and that the local was no longer relevant.
