New speed camera catches nearly 40 council workers after it was set up by their ... trends now

Over 30 council workers have been stung by a new speed camera their own bosses put in place but did not make it clear with signage that the camera had been set up. 

The speed camera device was positioned at a busy junction to catch out drivers breaking the 30mph limit on busy city roads. 

But recently a chunk of the fines were sent to the council's own staff, with 38 notices of intended prosecution issued to Cardiff council vehicles. 

The new move faced backlash from councilors who claimed that motorists were getting caught out due to a lack of signage in the first week.     

Cllr Caro Wild, cabinet member for climate change at Cardiff Council, said council vehicles were snapped at Western Avenue junction in Cardiff.
