New CCTV cameras are set to be installed across Salford in a bid to catch and fine drivers for breaking rules such as taking banned turns, the council has said.

The cameras will be installed at “hot spots” across the city, with the aim of catching motorists who block yellow-box junctions or drive in designated cycling zones.

The move was discussed at a meeting at Saford Civic Centre on Monday, with the council agreeing to award a contract for the supply and maintenance of the new CCTV cameras over the next five years.

Mike McCusker, the council’s lead member for transport, said: “Some people just think this is a cash cow, but it’s not, it’s about improving the flow of traffic.”
