The Express and Star have reported that the fate of 305 redundant speed cameras in the West Midlands is the subject of debate.

Apparently the decision is to spend £489,000 to upgrade some of the currently empty cased, wet-film speed camera to digital technology or pay £178,000 to have them removed altogether.

The region's councils' speed cameras budget was reduced by £750,000 in 2011. This left West Midlands Police to have to find the remaining £1m bill.

The decision was then made last year to switch to mobile cameras and they increased the fleet of mobile camera vans from two to four.

A report is still being put together by Centro, the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority. A Centro spokesman commented: "A report into the future policy on safety cameras continues to be developed with careful consideration being given to road safety implications and the need for a financially sustainable system."
