With the cuts to funding, many councils across the UK may be forced to switch off its speed cameras.

1. Will there be more road disasters if speed camera are switched off?

Road safety minister Mike Penning told the BBC said: "In the coalition agreement the government made clear it would end central funding for fixed speed cameras.

"Local authorities have relied too heavily on safety cameras for far too long so I am pleased that some councils are now focusing on other measures to reduce road casualties. This is another example of this government delivering on its pledge to end the war on the motorist.

Does this mean motorists will now speed though Chilcompton using it as a rat run?

What do you think of this decision? And what other road safety measures should Midsomer Norton adopt?
