As for the road maintenance thing- these fines were partly used by hammersmith to reduce local council tax bills which they are very proud of!
So is not a speed fine actually a camera caught? A camera is a camera and is proof of the offence and if hammersmith do use this to reduce council tax bills this is inappropriate allocation of monies raised by an offence. All the country should be in the same position and this was highlighted by other councils seeking the same permissions as London but at the end of the day why should a local government have the ability to penalise an individual where monies were raised through central government to begin with at the tax payers expense then get to keep and what they like with it?
Lets make the both Central & local Governments accountable, transparent and work for the the people of the country.
