Fixed Cameras

  • Reference Number: 2787
  • Date released: 04 November 2010

Request

  1. How many fixed speed cameras are currently operated by the Cheshire Constabulary (either wholly or as part of a partnership)?
  2. How many of those fixed speed cameras are actually in use? By this I mean how many are actually 'switched on' and equipped with the necessary components to photograph speeding vehicles? The reason I ask is that some forces have been known to leave the empty boxes as a deterrent.
  3. If, when researching the answer to (2), you find that there is at least one fixed speed camera that is not in active use, please give me a breakdown of the total annual costs associated with its upkeep.
