Fixed position speed cameras

Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request ref: 01/FIN/24/002215/P

 Version Date: 07/08/2024

The Central Ticket Office have provided the following information.

1. Which three fixed position speed cameras in your area were responsible for (i) the issuing of the most notices of intended prosecution (NIPs) to suspected speeders in the combined three-year period of 2021, 2022 and 2023?
   By this I mean which three cameras were the busiest across the entire three-year period rather than which three were busiest in each year. Hence the response should be just three camera sites and no more.
   
   2. Please provide me with the position of each of the three cameras along with the number of NIPs that each of these three was responsible for over this three year period.

A338 Blackwater to Cooper Dean (SB)	13,671
A338 Cooper Dean to Blackwater (NB)	12,783
A338 Wessex Way, Dean Park, Bournemouth (WB)	11,014

3. 
   If possible please provide me with the number of (i) FPNs and (ii) driver education courses that were accepted as ‘punishment’ by the people issued with the NIPs at each of the camera sites identified by Question 1.
   
   NOTE: Please include average speed cameras for this analysis where the cameras have remained in the same position.
