Speed camera van positioning on A41 Christleton

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Cheshire Police and Crime Panel should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Cheshire Police and Crime Panel,

I believe there is certain criteria to allow siting of a camera van on a stretch of road. Please could you confirm what this is?
There is a van positioned regularly just over the brow of a hump back bridge in Christleton on the A41 and from local records, this stretch of road is not a high accident black spot. The A41 is not the best of roads and there are a number of accidents much further along towards Whitchurch in the Broxton/Chowley Oak/Tattenhall area. But I cannot understand why this van is placed here on a regular basis. On Thursday or Friday it was even there at 5.30 - 6pm when night had fallen.
Please could you explain the justification for this location.

Yours faithfully,
Craig

Dear Sir,

 

I write following your recent email to my colleague Brian Read. Your
request was:

 

Dear Cheshire Police and Crime Panel,

 

I believe there is certain criteria to allow siting of a camera van on a
stretch of road. Please could you confirm what this is?

There is a van positioned regularly just over the brow of a hump back
bridge  in Christleton on the A41 and from local records, this stretch of
road is not a high accident black spot. The A41 is not the best of roads
and there are a number of accidents much further along towards Whitchurch
in the Broxton/Chowley Oak/Tattenhall area. But I cannot understand why
this van is placed here on a regular basis. On Thursday or Friday it was
even there at 5.30 - 6pm when night had fallen.

Please could you explain the justification for this location.

 

The question asked is not one that the Cheshire Police and Crime Panel
 can answer as it has no involvement in operational Policing. I would
suggest that your question should be addressed to Cheshire Constabulary.

 

With best wishes.
