UNTIL recently, Leigh Sinton had a sign at either end of the village warning of speed cameras.

But there were none, except the occasional police check, which kept motorists on their toes right through the village. Then, a fixed camera was introduced.

As the road through the village is primarily used by regulars, the site of the camera was soon known.

As a result, as the police have checked, motorists now speed up to and after the camera but slow down for a 100 yards or so for the stretch of road where the camera is making it more dangerous than it used to be.

This effect is also noticeable on the various roads in Worcester on which cameras have been introduced.

UKIP would look at the policy of using speed cameras compared to other systems that allow more flexibility and are focused at stopping accidents rather than trying to raise revenue.
