It comes after the law was changed last year to allow local authorities outside of London to fine motorists for ‘moving traffic offences’.
Town halls can now apply for powers previously only held by the police - enabling them to issue penalty notices to drivers for these offences for the first time. This could see councils hitting motorists with fines for violations such as driving through ‘no entry’ signs, blocking yellow box junctions and going the wrong way on a one-way street.

The consultation adds that cameras would only be used at sites where an 'absolute need' has been identified.
