The move is being discussed by the council in an effort to apprehend more drivers who disobey the law.

As part of a council effort to catch more drivers breaching the law, cameras may be installed in 17 new locations throughout Kent, it has been disclosed. A consultation regarding the installation of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras at locations throughout the Towns has been opened by Medway Council.

If the new cameras are installed, they will record drivers turning unlawful corners, halting inside yellow boxes, and entering areas that are prohibited for motor vehicles. According to the council, more enforcement will contribute to increased safety and less traffic.

The acts that the cameras will be focusing on are currently prohibited and will result in penalty charge letters (PCNs), but they also call for the presence of an officer at the scene. According to the plans, 17 new locations would be fitted

Cameras would police the pedestrianised area on Chatham High Street, and there would be no limitations on motor vehicles or access at Batchelor, Whittaker, or Clover streets. Additionally, yellow box junctions at the Maidstone Road Bus Interchange and the Chatham Hill intersection with Luton Road would be enforced using ANPR cameras.

Three are suggested for Rochester’s A2 Corporation Street, with yellow boxes at the intersections of Gas House Road, Bardell Terrace and the Esplanade.

Three are suggested for Gillingham High Street at the unrestricted entry points on Kings Street, Green Street, and James Street. Five yellow box intersections would

According to the council, this plan represents the continuation of a number of already implemented traffic control measures, such as school streets and red routes. The cost of each ANPR camera and the associated fines were questioned of the authorities.

Exeter City Confirm Gateshead youngster move deal done

Published

on

The 24-year-old had played a crucial role for Gateshead last season, helping the club to secure a play-off place as well as being apart of their FA Trophy journey, which led to the club winning via penalties at Wembley Stadium last month.

But as he approaches a transfer to League One team Exeter City, currently coached by Gary Caldwell, his time at the National League team appears to be coming to an end.

How did Francis fare last season?

Since joining the National League team from Notts County last summer and their subsequent promotion to the EFL, the midfield player has been a mainstay.

Francis played in 40 league games for Gateshead the previous season, but an injury kept him from making an appearance at Wembley Stadium.


Considering his detailed stats, Francis averaged 9.2 ball recoveries, 4.2 interceptions, and an 89% throwing success rate per ninety minutes during the National League season.

Francis played for a very successful Gateshead football team, led by Rob Elliott, who averaged the greatest ball possession percentage in the division (62%), along with 500 accurate passes each game.

Gary Caldwell will be very pleased with his ball-handling skills as he attempts to assemble an Exeter City team that can play effectively in League One next year.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke claims that the two teams have now agreed on an undisclosed amount for the midfield player. A physical examination and personal conditions agreement will probably come before the transfer to the football club is officially confirmed.
