SIR – It seems a bit backward for Bradford to be installing lots of extra speed cameras while more advanced areas, eg Swindon, are actively getting rid of them.
Any role in accident prevention seems of considerably less significance that that of revenue-raising, a fact which our smart Wiltshire friends have worked out and acted upon.
Nothing stops people driving towards your city to spend money more than the risk of getting ‘Gatsoed’ – that’s the way to treat your customers?
And what’s the betting that Bradford Council is paying full whack for lots of brand-new ones, when there are currently plenty of slightly-used ones available at a knock-down price from our southern cousins!
