Hi Leader

A letter for consideration

Re Letter speed cameras good as prevention not traps

Your correspondent condemns NWP for their positioning of the Arrive Alive van at the bottom of Broughton hill. Would it not be fair to say that if speeders are unimpeded by traffic they will have broke the speed limit all the way from the A55 exit. A quick look at Broughton's Neighbourhood Forum shows three items with regards speeding. It is a fact that all fines are returned to central government. Arrive Alive respond to community concerns they have no interest in fines as they do not receive a penny. Your correspondent finally comments that " NWP are focused on motorists and not necessarily criminals" Motorists turn into criminals when they speed inappropriately injuring or killing motorists and pedestrians. NWP and the WAG are committed to lowering deaths by vehicles in North Wales. North Wales communities fully support this committment.
