Castle Brom speed camera won't be switched on until August

SUMMER showers have forced highways chiefs to postpone the switch-on of a new speed camera in Castle Bromwich.
The device - recently installed on the Chester Road - was one of eight across Birmingham and Solihull which were all set to be activated on Monday (July 18).
But the "terrible weather" of recent weeks has forced officials to push the date back until August 8.
The new cameras detect vehicles through Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and calculate their average speed by measuring the time taken to travel between defined points.
