Every day, we are approached by concerned individuals, community groups, local councilors, residents and neighbourhood representatives, to ask if we can help improve local conditions by setting up safety cameras.
In all cases, we will see if the roads concerned meet the Government's criteria for the installation of fixed or mobile cameras. If they don't, there may be other solutions that we can point to, or we can put people in touch with other organisations that may be able to help.
- We receive - and are pleased to accept - invitations to speak to special interest groups, neighbourhood and community organisations, "after dinners" and the like, which reflects the wide public interest in cameras. IF you'd like someone to come and talk to your group...if you are interested in learning more about how cameras work and why they are installed, please contact us.
- Our education programme, streetC.R.E.D™ (Casualty Reduction Education Day), engages with young people who are the "next generation" of drivers. Designed in partnership with educational establishments, streetC.R.E.D™ supports curriculum activities and academic achievement… and has proven to make a long lasting and life changing difference to young people both in school and out on the roads. IF you'd like to learn more about how streetC.R.E.D™ might be suitable for your pupils. Alternatively contact us for more information.
- Our community outreach programme visits the region's motor shows, classic car rallies, town galas, exhibitions and family shows and similar, to let visitors see exactly how cameras work… and meet the people whom operate them. Get "close up and personal" with Gatsos and mobile patrols - always a crowd-puller! IF you'd like our travelling exhibition to pull the crowds at your event, please contact us.
- Safety in Numbers is West Yorkshire Casualty Reduction Partnership's unique effort to reduce road crashes and casualties. If YOU care about making the roads you use...and the communities alongside them...safer and better places to be, then please sign the pledge.

We are concerned to hear from anyone with a view on speed control safety cameras and road safety. It is only with consensus that we can move forward in reducing road deaths and injuries. Whether you agree or disagree with what we're trying to achieve, it does matter to us and we must find a way to debate the issues fully. That is what we are trying to do with our various community initiatives, with the information we issue and with this website.
