Shailesh Vara MP has welcomed the Home Office’s decision approving safety cameras on the Ramsey Forty Foot Road.

Mr Vara has campaigned for safety measures on the road for a number of years and today’s decision will mean that safety cameras will finally be put in place. The resulting speed reductions on the road will undoubtedly save lives.

Mr Vara said: “I am delighted with the Home Office’s approval. I have been campaigning for years for safety measures along this treacherous road. Far too many lives have already been lost and in the process, the lives of surviving relatives and loved ones have also been destroyed. These safety cameras will definitely help save lives and I welcome them.”
