Brunstrom: No new speed traps

Sep 23 2005

By Roland Hughes, Daily Post

 

Speed cameras on the A541 near Wrexham's Racecourse on Mold Road

NORTH Wales's controversial anti-speeding chief constable has revealed he does not want more cameras on the region's roads.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Post, Richard Brunstrom outlined a raft of new measures to combat fast driving.

He said they would be less confrontational than speed cameras and would include driving lessons for convicted motorists.

Mr Brunstrom revealed: "We don't want to crank up the camera campaign. What we are looking for is casualty reduction.

"I don't think more cameras are necessary. We are not looking to blanket the place with cameras - we are looking to save lives.

"We are not looking to put a camera on every lamppost or manhole cover. We are going to get smarter and better and we are going to find cleverer ways of dealing with it."

North Wales currently has 13 fixed speed cameras and nine mobile units which cover about 250 miles - less than 5% - of the region's roads.
