I did e-mail the L.C.C. expressing our concerns on the issue of red light jumping and asking if they had any plans to install these cameras around Hyndburn ... this is the reply :-

'Kate

During the 1990's, Lancashire County Council purchased a red light camera and identified 6 locations for the installation of housings in which to deploy the camera. The locations were generally in the Preston area and sites selected following detailed analysis of collision records at traffic signals. The direction that the camera faced was determined by the direction that the majority of red light violation collisions had occurred at each junction.

The 6 sites have been continually monitored and a report produced in June 2005 showed that on average across the 6 locations, injury collisions had fallen by 10.6% from 21.6 to 19.3 per year. Further analysis is now being carried out looking at the occurrence of injury collisions at traffic signals over the three year period from 2006 to 2008 inclusive. After that the Partnership will be reviewing its strategy towards red light cameras but to date no firm decisions have been made

I hope the above is of some assistance

Slow progress, but at least they are monitoring the budget on these to see whether will be effective.

Funnily enough, did notice that there was one of those yellow triangle warning signs on the 30 mph poles today warning you of a CCTV camera at the Dill Hall traffic lights which I had never noticed before ... thought blimey, that's service for ya' ...
