Statistics from speed cameras/red light cameras in Southport, Birkdale and Ainsdale

We're waiting for Dave to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Merseyside Police,

Could you please provide me the statistics in relation to the amount of times each camera in Southport, Birkdale and Ainsdale has been activated by a speeding motorist, the average speed that has occurred and any false triggers caused by anything other than a motorist.

Yours faithfully,

David
