THE next mobile speed camera site has been chosen for Wyre Forest - and the hi-tech devices are also back in action in Blakedown.

A mobile unit will pay visits to Chester Road North in Kidderminster once a fortnight as part of a crackdown on speeding drivers and are due within the next three months.

Meanwhile, a mobile unit which has visited Blakedown since last April, is to return in the coming weeks, after a six-month break.

More than 1,000 drivers have already been fined after exceeding the 30mph speed limit on the A456 which runs through the village.

A spokeswoman for the Safety Camera Partnership said: "Chester Road North has been selected by the partnership because of its collision history and abuse of the local speed limit.

"During the three years before our funding bid to the Department for Transport in 2003, there were 12 collisions involving personal injury along a one-kilometre stretch of this road, two of which were serious.

"In addition 51 per cent of the traffic was found to be exceeding the speed limit."
