New average speed cameras will be installed on the A12 in Essex in February. The cameras will cover a four mile stretch of road in the Kelvedon area between Rivenhall End and Easthorpe.

The £1 million initiative by the Highways Agency will get underway on Monday, February 9 and take six weeks to complete. New vehicle safety fencing will be included in the project.

A spokesman for the Highways Agency said: "We have worked with our contractors to ensure the disruption is kept to a minimum by planning the works overnight." One lane in both directions will be shut between 8pm and 6am.

...and no doubt the cast of TOWIE will be driving up and down at high speed to get their pictures taken?

Are you saying that they will raise less revenue from their chosen place than they would from yours? I don't believe it! Since when has re-surfacing roads raised any revenue?

The cost of putting up one camera would probably equate to the cost of resurfacing 2 metres of carriageway!

If it tastes good - it's fattening.

Two of them are obesiting!!

I would settle for that - it's not great length's of carriageway that need attention but much more local "patching" and in any event there is the continued maintenance of the cameras to factor in as expense however small that may be with the new technologies.
I think installing cameras will come out of Capital, whereas patching (and camera maintenance) comes from maintenance (current budget), so different source of funding. I always thought that separating classes of expenditure was fiddling, y'know, like paying taxes in Ireland and Luxembourg, instead of UK (not that they are fiddling - I always thought that describing something as fiddling was a matter of perception).

But surely the ultimate source of the 'maintenance' and 'capital' budgets is still the poor old taxpayer, so strictly speaking I can't see why it makes any difference and doesn't really matter a toss
