CRIME CHIEF SAYS CASH COULD HELP CUT CRASHES AND FATALITIES IN MIDLANDS
SPEEDING drivers in the West Midlands have forked out more than £250,000 in fines in just four months - prompting fresh calls to keep the cash in the region.
West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster said he will continue campaigning for money raised from fixed penalty fines to be reinvested in the force instead of going to central government coffers.
Mr Foster said a total of £287,950 has been sent to the treasury so far in 2025 for speeding and non-speeding offences.
This follows more than £2million being collected and passed on during the whole of the 2024 calendar year.
He said the money would be better used in improving road safety in the West Midlands and help them achieve targets of eliminating death and serious injuries by 2040.
