You misread it Celine, it was on the TV news last night. Apparently they are going to remove about 150 cameras but will insert speed boards in their place. These are those flashing signs that light up with your speed if you are over the limit. I think they are very effective since they remind the average driver they are over the limit. Of course there is the possibility that 'Boy Racers' will use them to see who can go fastest past the sign.
Could be a whole new game.
Not that us sensible types would do anything like that-would we?

Celine??? I'm not some skinny warbler from Canada you know!

Like I said I was stood in the queue in the petrol station when I glimpsed at the article so more than likely I misread it, too busy eyeing up the nice bum in front of me! :P

Ricky - where are they ???? Obviously the ones outside P&H, one on Flemming way and often a moile van pointed towards the flyover but where else.

Don`t you relise that whilst some of them will be removed, they will be re deployed for "new money gathering duties", surley no one can believe that they will just be removed and the system absorb the loss of all that revenue, I dont think so.

They will be re sited at other locations.........FACT!

I don't for one minute believe the system will absorb the loss, I just think they've realised they need stealthier (is that a word?) ways of catching people..

[bradders]

and fund the cost of CCTV so they can catch you on double lines/yellow boxes/parking in disabled bays/any other means that does not need 'peolpe' to get £££ from the motorist thru 'in the post' fines. Oh and the DVLA vehcile check system to catch those on a SORN popping to the shops!
