Bradford, a building which I was responsible for a tenants floor of, had
a ground floor occupied by some sort of speed partnership outfit.

Vans fitted with speed cameras, marked up police, but orange flashers on
top and driven by not the police. You would often see them parked up by
the road side around Bradford, doing their thing.

Anyone tell me what outfit they were please?

Google and Wikipedia seems not very helpful on this...

Is it this mob

Yes, thanks. I just need to know now how they are are funded and is it
essentially a self funding operation. The site doesn't give much away.

They can't be funded from the fines - the government quite rightly
killed that by taking the fines itself, because it was turning into
a revenue generation operation.

They can derive revenue from the retraining courses if drivers choose
to take them instead of points and fine.

They can be funded by the council. Although the government withdrew
the specific funding for speed cameras, councils can still fund them
themselves if they can find the resources and think they are a good
use of funds.
