Think they are right to however the reason is purely because they aren't making a mint off them. You know they'd stick to them despite whatever evidence they had against them if they were making the right sort of cash.

Re: Swindon Council scraps fixed speed cameras
Interestingly the article reveals that their annual maintenance cost is around £60k per camera.
That's enough to pay someone to actually do some policing. And that's without any installation or repair costs. |
