Locations of 10 new average speed cameras are revealed

- WILLIAM TELFORD

PLYMOUTH is to have another 10 speed cameras installed to police a new 20mph zone. The average speed cameras will be dotted around roads around Stoke, Millbridge and on Eldad Hill and include three cameras inside the zone.

Two cameras will be set up in Stuart Road, one near the railway arch and another at the junction with De La Hay Avenue, and there will be three on Wilton Street, one near the Stuart Road junction, one near the traffic lights and another at the junction with Fellowes Place. There will be two cameras in Molesworth Road, one near Stoke Damerel Park and another near the traffic lights. There will also be cameras on Eldad Hill, Valletort Road and Wingfield Way.

Plymouth City Council said it is paying £125,000 for the cameras but they will be operated by the police. The 20mph zone is being set up around a new Mill Bridge pedestrian and cycle crossing, currently under construction, although the council is now stressing that the zone is also to provide safety for children going to and from Stuart Road Primary Academy.
