Two speed cameras cut down in Truro, Cornwall
The cameras in Perranarworthal were installed in March 2023 after campaigning from residents[1].
Loic Rich, Truro City Councillor for the Tregolls Ward, said parents had complained about the dangers of speeding in the area.
He said: “Where the speed camera is, or was, it’s used by parents taking their children to two primary schools… it’s one of the busiest crossings in Truro and there’s been a number of quite bad accidents.
“For hundreds of people in that area the speed cameras actually had a really positive effect on their quality of life, parents feel safe letting their kids walk to school now.
“Whoever’s cut down the speed camera, and I don’t know why they’ve done that or what they’re trying to achieve, I think it’s a real shame.”
