@thebritspot: They even called it ‘Speedy’ 👀📸 After the fake camera went up overnight on Sandhurst Road in Catford, drivers are reported to have immediately begun slowing down and locals noticed the road felt calmer “for the first time in years.” Lewisham Council however removed the camera in 2 days. "The council is not responsible for installing speed cameras or speed enforcement, but we have made TfL aware of residents' concerns,” Lewisham council said. “We're in the process of introducing new measures to calm traffic and prevent inconsiderate parking, which causes severe disruption to pedestrians."

Vali :

it's not about the speeding, it's about the money, they can't milk a fake camera....God I love this country and their councils 🥰

tennerorless :

I hate this country bruh

Tony :

Bizarre how it could “lead to an accident” here. But not when they put up the real thing…

Ash Mohammad :

it wasnt generating income for council

yucca_yat :

Only put speed cameras where they know they will make plenty of cash

Geek :

100% proves SPEED cameras are NOTHING to do with SPEED and ALL to do with MONEY.

ivoramalhokip :

so the point isn't about slowing people... it's all about getting money

I’m gonna be a star :

Because the government doesn’t care about anything other than money

Giggl3pig :

It’s all about the money

Ray Von :

ADHDBT :

ie less money being made on fines

Sharko and friends :

So it was never about the speeding and all about who pockets the money 😁

ttratl :

Speed cameras are for revenue generation. If no money goes to the council - it has to go.

TheGreatMilenko :

"it's about the money" ok but when I placed a large concrete flowerbed on the road outside my house it was removed. why? oh ya.

BDesh2020 :

with many 20mph speed cameras..how long b4 10mph cameras.

Liverdad :

Ask Councils how much the spend on consultants per year. It will blow your mind folks.

. :

they don't care about safety they only care about money hence why those speed camera vans are never on residential streets but only a few certain spots where they get the most revenue

Happy :

2days?! That was quick. Is it a shortcut to the council offices?

INVI :

😳😬😬😬For sure it's "concerned residents" and for "safer streets" not just made to justify more of those horrors and new cash machines

Clyde :

Anything but fix the problem

Jay's public :

😂😂😂

_shotter :

Lucylovesmotherhood :

Tristan :
