People living in Cowling say mobile police cameras are not located in the village regularly enough.
By Stuart HarrattCampaigners have called for fixed speed cameras to be installed in a North Yorkshire village because police camera vans were not there regularly enough.But some residents in Cowling, near Keighley, have said the police speed vans were situated in the village "only 10% of the time".
"A couple of years ago we asked for a lollipop person to help the children cross the road and we were told it was too dangerous."Gillian Taylor said villagers wanted the "constant enforcement" provided by a fixed speed camera "Any place where it is happening so regularly needs fixed or average speed cameras there to deal with the problem."
The force added: "Due to the geography of North Yorkshire - we police 6,000 miles of road - mobile safety cameras were considered more flexible and appropriate for a number of reasons, including the seasonal nature of some of our road safety issues.
