Cameras with number plate recognition technology are to be installed in speeding hotspots in Suffolk villages as part of a police crackdown on dangerous driving.
Ten automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras are to be purchased in a joint scheme from Suffolk County Council, Suffolk's police and crime commissioner Tim Passmore and Suffolk police.
The Parish Council have responded to this news by applying for one of the cameras to spend time in Creeting St Peter, the intention being to install it midway between the old village noticeboard next to 4 Peterhouse and the speed limit sign at the southern end of the village, which offers the best sightlines and is expected to be most effective.
It is hoped that this will allow some of the more egregious offenders to be caught and penalised, and encourage drivers to use more caution when driving through the village.
