 Somerset's Safety Camera Partnership have announced a reduction in the number of fixed safety cameras deployed across the county.
Following a reduction in the number of speeding offences detected and a fall in casualties, the partnership plans to remove nine of the 26 fixed cameras in coming weeks.
