Cambridgeshire is considering purchasing new CCTV cameras in a bid to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the county’s roads. If approved, new cameras will be used to replace old film cameras to better monitor various sites, particularly accident black spots.

 

Existing old film cameras are currently situated in high-accident spots where an increasing number of fatal or serious accidents have been reported.

 

 

Graham Hughes, executive director of place and economy at Cambridgeshire County Council says Cambridgeshire has a network of safety cameras that are now reaching the end of their operational life and require updating to digital technology. If approved, the move to upgrade existing wet-film cameras to new digital versions is expected to be between £500,000 and £600,000.
