Do Speed Cameras Kill?
Guildhall, Winchester
Tuesday 24 February, 7.00 for 7.30 pm
11 years of speed cameras, many £100m spent, millions of drivers penalised, thousands banned, thousands administering the system - and what do we have to show for it? Do speed cameras slow down traffic, saving lives and reducing - or do they make our roads more dangerous? Why do Autocar and the RAC Foundation describe speed cameras as “the £150m failure”?
We will give you the facts – straight. No spin, no weasel words, no cherry-picking of data. No unsubstantiated claims or wishful thinking. Just facts. Then will explain what happened,
Speakers from Safespeed ( HYPERLINK "www.safespeed.org.uk" www.safespeed.org.uk ), the Association of British Drivers ( HYPERLINK "www.abd.org.uk" www.abd.org.uk ) and others. Hampshire Police and Camera Partnership will be invited to attend
Reserve seats by phone or fax to 01730829416 (any time) or by email to HYPERLINK "mailto:ifrancis@onetel.net.uk" irfrancis@onetel.net.uk .
Free admission, voluntary donations towards costs.

Can you post any more details on this thread as to start times, venue, methods of making a donation and so forth.
Unfortunately due to family committments I cannot attend but I know others locally would be interested...
I think the details you need are already there aren't they? Apart from this:
I can process donations via all the usual methods shown on the following page:

Frankly, we need all the financial help we can get.

Something that is short enough for EVERYONE to dowmload and Copy 100 times, and distribute around the area, and send to Their Scamera Partnerships, as well as Brake ++++.ABD need Financial support, BUT-they need doers with the leaflets Just as much, possibly more.Wouldnt cost as much as 5 litre,s does for our PistonHeads.!!!!

As long as I can afford the travel (etc) expenses, I'll go anywhere I'm needed. If you want a public meeting in Essex, then start looking at venues for setting one up. I'll be there.
Idris has been making most of the practical arrangements - he seems exceptionaly good at that, so you might want to liase with him.
Best Regards,
Paul Smith
