Progress made to install speed cameras along "accident blackspot" which should be operational soon

Progress has been made on the works to install new speed cameras along Portsdown Hill.

Poles were installed earlier this week and last night several of the cameras themselves were attached to the poles , with all of the work expected to be completed by the end of the week.

As previously reported by The News, the 12 speed cameras costing £560,000, will be installed and operational in response to speeding and dangerous driving.

It has been dubbed one of the most dangerous stretches of roads in Hampshire with over 60 injury incidents in the past five years, including four fatalities on the road which stretched from Havant to Fareham.

In a video on social media, the Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones said the cameras will be calibrated by the end of the week.

The new cameras follow the installation of the two installed along Eastern Road earlier this year.
