Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of acoustic cameras; and whether he plans to increase the usage of such cameras.

As set out in the Government’s Plan for Drivers, the Department intends to publish the findings of the trial shortly. Subsequently, it will issue guidance to local authorities setting out minimum requirements and best practice for the use of noise cameras. This will support Local Authorities to make greater use of the technology.
