A Sydney mayor wants councils to be able to operate mobile speed cameras to make local roads safer.
Cr Ned Mannoun, the mayor of Liverpool, said if councils had the ability to operate the cameras, it would help to curb excessive speeding and promote safer driving habits.
He said the tragic loss of four lives in Liverpool in just four months due to speeding has deeply affected the community, and the trend cannot be allowed to continue.
Mayor Nannoun said Liverpool Council was ready to take on the responsibility, and called on the NSW Government to allow it and other councils to do so.
