Cash Cameras

So now the bickering starts!

"Swindon Borough Council, '... could stop paying for speed cameras because it says they might not be the best way to make roads safer.'

Tory-run Swindon Borough Council currently spends about £400,000 to fund speed cameras in the town. Its leader, Roderick Bluh, said cash from fines goes to central government and there could be better ways to cut the number of accidents on roads.

It is thought to be the first time a council has challenged the government on the issue of speed camera funding."

Are Swindon BC complaining because they now have to surrender "revenue/fines" to central government or are they really concerned that speed cameras are not as effective as first claimed?

Will all councils follow Swindon or will 'Flash' Gordon order "Yes" Darling to issue a rebate/bribe to sweeten Swindon?
