Essex Safety Camera Working Group


The core members of the Essex Safety Camera Working Group (ESCWG) are Essex County Council, Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Thurrock Council, Essex Police, Highways Agency and Her Majesty's Courts Service.

The principal aims and objectives of the ESCWG are;

  • Maximise the casualty reduction potential of safety camera activities;
  • Promote and develop an efficient and effective Partnership working arrangement;
  •  Ensure safety camera activities are carried out in a fair, consistent but robust manner;
  • Maintain/enhance public support for safety camera activities;
  • Conduct safety camera enforcement in the most cost effective manner;
  • Integrate safety camera activities with other casualty reduction strategies developed either by the LTP authorities or Essex Police; and
  • Consider the most appropriate and sustainable operational arrangements in the light of continued reduced LTP funding from the DfT via the Road Safety Specific Grant.
