SPEED cameras will NOT be axed from Welwyn Hatfield’s roads, despite claims they do not help reduce accidents.
Herts County Council this week confirmed the cameras would stay, following a national newspaper report in which Cllr Rod Bluh, the leader of Swindon Borough Council, said his authority had taken the “right step” in scrapping them.
A spokeswoman for the county council said: “While we’re always keen to learn from the experiences of our colleagues at other councils, at the moment we’re confident that safety cameras are working for Hertfordshire.”
