There are currently 13 fixed camera sites and 62 sites where mobile cameras can be used. The partnership has a fleet of nine vans with mobile cameras. Inspector Ahari said the partnership was running a Community Concern programme where residents could ask for the mobile cameras to be used for a day at known speeding hotspots. This is the last year cash raised from speed cameras can be used to fund more. From next year the cash will go to the Treasury with partnerships relying entirely on central funding. And they will be encouraged to use road safety measures other than speed cameras. Transport minister Stephen Ladyman said: "This will be the last year of the safety camera programme under the current netting off funding arrangements. "The department has worked closely with the safety camera partnerships to help them to develop operational cases for 2006-7 which will ensure that all camera activities continue to contribute to reducing speeds and casualties and assist in the achievement of the 2010 casualty reduction targets." Dr Ladyman said all new camera sites would comply with the new Handbook of Rules and Guidance for the Safety Camera Programme in England and Wales for 2006-7 which was published in January. Safety camera partnerships expect to rake in a massive £120m in fixed penalty fines this year covering their estimated £120m running costs. They also predict 300,000 motorists will be sent on speed awareness courses. |
