Speed Cameras - Inequality!
Over the past three days, and purely by coincidence, this writer has driven through 4 separate areas of Leeds where speed cameras are in operation - Middleton, Morley, Rodley, and Stanningley, and there are of course many more cameras within the Leeds area.
The residents living close by these cameras are protected against the danger and noise of speeding traffic, we are not, and yet the council knows that there is a serious speeding problem within our area.
A logical conclusion is that our safety and quality of life is of less importance than that of other rate payers throughout Leeds?

Speed camera signs go up
Speed Camera signs have been put up along Leeds/Wakefield Road, at the time of writing they've been in place for about a week. We had sent a couple of emails asking when this latest 'solution' was going to be implemented, and have still to receive a reply, so this activity came as a surprise to all of us.
These are 'mobile speed camera' signs advising motorists that there may be portable speed cameras in operation, usually operating from the back of a van.
It's fair to say that the signs have caused uncertainty, with some drivers sticking within the 40mph limit, whilst other go sailing by at well over 40mph. For those still speeding it can't be down to the lack of a clear warning, there are plenty of signs!
