News: A127 SPECS - 90 percent funded by a private company.

pocketgpsworld.comA Freedom of Information request to Essex County Council requesting the cost of the A127 Average Speed Camera installation has revealed something very interesting.

In a reply from Elaine Appleby, Senior Road Safety Officer, the total cost of the average speed camera installation was stated as £455,086.

But more interesting by far was the revelation that Essex County Council contributed only £39,860 of the total. The remaining £415,226 was paid by a company headquartered in the area, Keymed Ltd.

Quite why a private sponsor is being used to fund speed camera installations isn't explained but this does raise a number of questions which we will endeavour to obtain answers for.

What next, Redlight cameras sponsored by Brembo? Perhaps we'll see speed cameras covered in advertising or sponsor logos as some already are in Dubai?
