Question to the Cabinet Member for Assets and Infrastructure : 2024/46 - Traffic Enforcement Cameras
Minutes:
Councillor
Fouweather asked:
How much will it cost to install new traffic
enforcement cameras across the city and have any new sites for
cameras been identified.
Councillor R Howells
responded:
Newport has successfully bid for a
Welsh Government Road Safety grant to upgrade the enforcement
cameras at all 4 existing speed enforcement sites across the city.
The grant included both camera upgrades and replacement of the
housing infrastructure costing £315k.
Additionally, working with our
partners in Gwent Police and Go Safe, a bid for speed and red-light
running enforcement cameras to be installed at the Wharf Road/
Chepstow Road signal-controlled junction, was also successful. This
bid was supported due to the high levels of contraventions and
traffic incidents recorded. The grant to provide cameras and
housings at this location was £96.5k.
You will be aware that these cameras
relate to endorse-able moving traffic offences enforceable only by
Gwent Police and Go Safe.
