CONFUSION surrounds the future of speed cameras in Swindon.

Last November Swindon Council threatened to pull out of the group which runs the speed camera operation unless Government agreed to plough all the revenue they generate back into the town.

In January the Adver revealed Government had refused to hand back the cash.

Despite the council adopting the drop out motion at a meeting in November, still nothing has changed.

Now the councillor behind the withdrawal plan says talks on the cameras' futures in Swindon are ongoing.

But Wiltshire and Swindon Safety Camera Partnership says it has heard nothing from the council and has funding for the next year.
