LESS than one in five speed cameras are turned on. Cheshire Police have confirmed they only operate nine out of its 54 cameras at any one time (Express, November 8 and website) Steve Mayers: Switched on or off they still have the desired effect of slowing cars down because you don’t know if it’s working or not. Graham Brinkhurst: The same argument could be used for all the installed (for a reason) street lights that Cheshire East have now decided to keep switched off. Sean Mccormack: It’s not the cameras that get you it’s the undercover BMWs. Douglas Crawford: It’s a deterrent. Only an idiot would speed past one...a non story. Wendy Ellis: Like a massive pothole in the road eh? Hehe. Helen Maurice Jones: This all sounds like fake news to get people to speed past the cameras. Jon Thompson: Yes, but which ones? John Portlock: You don’t need to know. Joseph Connor: That informatio­n remains confidenti­al otherwise [drivers] will just speed past cameras they know are broken so just assume all of them are working! Nathan Rourke: The ones on the A34 are on.

TRADITIONA­L family fun at Macclesfie­ld Christmas lights switchon. Santa will turn on the lights at the event in Market Place on November 25 (website, November 9) Gail Mclean: Why is everyone so negative about things! Kids love this sort of thing and they don’t care it’s the end of November that they’re doing it, as long as Macclesfie­ld does something nice what’s the problem? Daniel Northfield: Ermmm **checks date*** its the beginning of November. Lets wait at least one more month before putting trees up, shall we? Debbie Quinn: It’s not until 25th November? Not bad considerin­g Manchester switched theirs on before bonfire night! Maria Wood: 25th of November is fine with me.
