Two women have been sexually assaulted in a notorious underpass after a health and safety row left CCTV cameras switched off.
The £150,000 state-of-the-art devices were installed almost a year ago to reassure people walking through the area blighted by fights and assaults.

Another article where H&S is 'blamed', when it's clear that the delay was caused by Metronet imploding and leaving managerial chaos. Nobody's saying that the work hasn't been done because it's dangerous - it hasn't been done because the groups trying to pick up Metronet's pieces can't agree on who's going to do it (which is pretty much the norm in the public sector).
TfL may have extremely stringent H&S, but then it's a rail operator - they all do and rightly so given what's happened over recent years.

Another case where planning and organising has been done, but no one thought to think of "what if".
Yes, you can decide it expensive to have back up or alternative systems, but in this case the consequences outweigh the costs (IMHO)
But this is where the public should take the matter up with the local council and push their elected members to do something about the situation.
However, the press will probably ignore this as it is not "sensation" enough and they cannot attack anybody.
The press have too much "freedom" to sensationalise IMHO again - ask the Queen on that!She was reported as walking out when she was actually walking into the interview.
