Lancashire: Speed cameras plan for two dangerous roads

Speed cameras could be installed on two roads with a history of serious accidents and speeding drivers.

Lancashire County Council said the £2.1million scheme will see cameras installed on the A682 Colne Road in Burnley and Brierfield as well as the A583 Blackpool Road in Kirkham, through to Peel Hill.

The council said the Colne Road scheme will target excessive speeding and "anti-social driving".

"Both of these roads have a history of serious collisions where excessive speed has been a factor," Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for highways and transport, said.
