Sir – The scrapping of speed cameras is a triumph of bigotry over reason.
Speed is an important factor in most road traffic accidents which result in injury or death, as one might expect from simple physics. Cameras were an effective deterrent. The cost of their loss will be measured in blood and grief.
It would be one thing if the Conservatives had received an electoral mandate for this lunacy. But they didn’t.
I voted Lib Dem to keep Grendel from the door, not to open it and invite her in.
I have always voted Lib Dem as my father did before me, but I swear by his very grave I shall never do so again. There has never been such a betrayal of trust, nor such a failure in our democracy.
Ian East, Islip
