Speed cameras to be scrapped Posted by at 10 35 PM on Saturday, July 24

HUNDREDS of speed cameras across the country could be switched off because of a cut in government funding.
The government is poised to cut spending on road safety by 40%.
The first of 6,000 speed cameras will be switched off in Oxfordshire as soon as next weekend.
And thousands more are expected to follow in the Autumn after their funding is slashed.
Transport Minister Mike Penning said the government was committed to “end the war on the motorist.”
Last year councillors in Swindon axed their cameras, labelling them an “unfair tax” on motorists.
They say there has been no increase in accidents.
But road safety campaigners last night said the decision could increase deaths.
