Kevin Price, a keen photographer and a Labour councillor in Cambridge, has branded the Grand Arcade’s photography policy \u2018bizarre’ and said he may take the matter up with council colleagues.<\/p>\n

Councillor Price, 55, said he had visited the privately run centre on 13 August to take a few shots as part of \u2018366′ – a photography project that involves taking pictures, daily, during the leap year and posting them on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP), Price said a staff member told him pictures of the centre’s structure were prohibited and threatened to throw him out if he persisted.<\/p>\n

\u2018It’s so over the top, ridiculous… and annoying. I had been out with my Canon EOS 550D taking a few shots of ceilings,’ said Price.<\/p>\n

This was the first time he had taken photos in the shopping centre.<\/p>\n

The photography enthusiast, who serves as councillor in the King’s Hedges ward of the city, told AP that he could see no signs warning him against such photography.<\/p>\n

\u2018I absolutely love getting out and about with my camera \u2013 anywhere [now] apart from shopping centres,’ added Price, who works as a porter at one of the University colleges in the city.<\/p>\n

The Grand Arcade’s general manager, John O’Shea, told AP: \u2018Grand Arcade has a no photography policy in place to ensure the interests of public safety are upheld at all times.<\/p>\n

\u2018The retail shopping centre is private property and has a duty of care to its retailers, which have individual policies relating to the use of their images, shop fronts and signage.<\/p>\n

\u2018Should members of the public wish to take photographs within Grand Arcade, the centre is happy to review each request on an individual basis with prior notice.<\/p>\n

\u2018It should also be noted that we do look to use our discretion with regards to people taking pictures of their friends and family, Christmas decorations and in-centre events.’<\/p>\n

The Grand Arcade is a partnership between Cambridge City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and private companies, according to a press release<\/a> issued by planners in September 2004.<\/p>\n

There has been a mixed reaction<\/a> from locals since an article first appeared in Cambridge News<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
