Don't you find Manchester is a poor relation when it comes to live streaming webcams. Our webcams update at up to 30 second intervals, that's not a cam but a photograph. Other towns and cities have live streaming cams, so why can't we?

There is one live streaming cam in Manchester which is inside the Manchester Conference Centre.

Shawcam is still working, i've just checked. You can here the sound on the street with these too.

By the way, checkout the words, Bus and... on the left hand cam. There is a giant arrow pointing the opposite way to the words, puzzling!!

View from Manchester Rd, Bury. This cam updates very rapidly and is almost streaming.

P.S. Wouldn't it be great to have a couple of live streaming cams on top of Beetham Tower.
