Two TfL cameras have appeared nearby on a straight road which is one of the only means to leave our estate. Motorists often drive at over 50mph past this spot (a primary school), whilst every street branching off to the north is a cul-de-sac due to thousands of acres of arable land and forestry beyond. With no Boris Bikes, two buses both going in the same direction, the nearest train or Tube some three miles distant, no cabs passing displaying their for hire light and the Superloop bus an hour’s travel away, what is the point of the camera? It’s a rhetorical question, not being a speed camera, it can only be used to fill the coffers of TfL, the local cows around here produce more pollution.
Income generation by ‘stealth’ is the curse of the modern world. Small wonder anti-camera vigilantes are cutting down the cameras using angle-grinders.
Best wishes, Pete.

I’ve since found a third camera on our small estate. Locals around here don’t bother with climbing to get to the camera, instead they drill into the pavement mounted control box and destroy the workings!
