It looks like the great speed camera switch-off is making an about turn with news this week that speed cameras are to be reactivated in Bristol and the West Midlands and other councils look to expand their speed camera assets.
Bristol's cameras were switched off in 2011 after central government funding ended. Now Bristol City Council and Avon and Somerset Police are working to reactivate 26 speed and red-light cameras. Revenue from the cameras will be used to operate and maintain them.
Meanwhile, in the West Midlands, plans are being made to install digital speed cameras and mark a return to their use after the last one was switched off in April this year.
A reduce speed limit on the A180 in North East Lincs may be enforced by average speed cameras. The A180 has been included in a strategic sped review and councillors will now debate plans to police the reduced speed limit (down from 70mph to 50mph) using average speed cameras.
And finally, Essex, well known for its love affair with speed cameras, has announced plans to upgrade half of the county's speed camera to digital technology at a cost of £824,000.
