Blueprint to improve safety and cut congestion on Cambridgeshire roads

 Brakes put on more speed cameras, clampdown on rogue wheel clampers

Time was called this week on rogue clampers, unending road works and unnecessary speed cameras. Malcolm Moss, MP for North East Cambridgeshire, has added his voice to new Conservative plans to cut congestion and disruption on the roads, while improving road safety.

A new blueprint for a Conservative Government to help improve local roads includes:

·          Improving safety by switching from installing new fixed speed cameras to alternative road safety measures, such as Vehicle Activated Signs and better education.

·          Scrapping unaccountable speed camera quangos and publishing the revenue raised from each of Cambridgeshire’s 63 speed cameras.

·          Cracking down on rogue wheel clampers, which is a particular problem on private land.

·          Reducing the congestion caused by road works and motorway closures following accidents.

Malcolm Moss MP said:

“Under the Labour Government, getting around has become a daily grind. Law-abiding drivers have to avoid endless road works, rogue clampers extorting cash and speed cameras designed to raise money rather than improve safety.

“Conservatives will use practical, common sense measures to tackle the congestion that is costing Cambridgeshire’s economy millions. There should be more openness on how transport decisions that affect people’s lives are made, and greater use of technology like Vehicle Activated Signs to cut speeding. It’s time for change to get Cambridgeshire moving.”
