Swindon scraps speed cameras

[Tim]

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Wiltshire | Town switches off speed cameras

Finally some sense. Swindon council have realised that all the cameras are doing is taking a photo of speeding motorists, they are not, however, doing anything to prevent speeding in the first place.

Less cameras and more traffic cops I say.

Oh and South Yorkshire next please

edit: actually it just looks like Gatsos, so mobile cameras will still be operating? oh...
