 West Midlands Switch off Fixed Speed Cameras - Meldrew
It has been the force's job to manage and pay to run the sites, including traffic light cameras, with councils paying for maintenance.

However, the cash-strapped local authorities balked at the estimated £580,000 cost of upgrading the cameras to digital film, and do not have the money to continue running them.

Removing the cameras would cost £600,000.

To be fair though, it's a question of how the big picture is framed. You can't just zoom in and get it right first time.

It will be interesting to see how this story develops.
I can imagine the Sun's take on it: "Kojak gives up on Kodak".
