The Cleveland Safety Camera Partnership (SCP) was formed in April 2000 between Cleveland Police, Cleveland Magistrates, and Hartlepool, Redcar and Cleveland, Stockton and Middlesbrough Borough councils.
The Partnership uses a number of initiatives to improve road safety and reduce road risk posed by traffic, including:
- Education
- Encouragement
- Engineering
- Enforcement
The Cleveland Safety Camera Partnershipmonitors speed and prioritises deployment of mobile cameras.
Response to requests involves a fortnight's rigorous enforcement at the site and then review of the data. If it proves to be only a perceived rather than a real speed problem then the data is passed on to the relevant council to deal with; otherwise the site will be considered for future mobile camera deployment by the partnership.
