“Speed cameras help make our roads safer by encouraging drivers to be responsible and they should only be a burden for those who refuse to stick to the limits,' a councillor said.
Councillor Raj Mehta and councillor Paul Watling in front of the speed camera in West Centre Way, Lawleyin a bid to stop drivers breaking the speed limits and running red lights.
Evidence gathered by West Mercia Police, who is a member on the board, showed there was a need for cameras which will help reduce the risk of accidents. “The vital investment from Telford & Wrekin Council has ensured that through a combination of fixed cameras and mobile speed indicator devices, we can target and deter speeding, both on trunk roads and across the wider parish.
"The installation of speed cameras is a direct response to feedback from residents worried about excess speed. They are part of a package of road safety measures we are funding through a major investment into Lawley which is one of Telford & Wrekin’s new communities. In addition to the cameras, Telford & Wrekin Council is funding more speed indicator devices which display a vehicle’s speed as it approaches.
