Government Slammed Over ‘Hoarding Speed Camera Fines’ Rather than Reinvesting in Local Road Safety
At a meeting of Bedford Borough Council's Environment Committee the Government has been slammed for 'hoarding speed camera fines in Whitehall' rather than returning them to the local area for further road safety measures. The comments from Liberal Democrat Environment Committee Spokesperson Cllr Tim Hill came during discussion of the average speed cameras programme in Bedford Borough, which was the first area in the country to install the technology on local roads when Mayor Dave Hodgson introduced it in 2012.
