Speed cameras on the A40 in West London are costing drivers nearly £100,000 a month.

Average speed cameras were activated between the Polish War Memorial and the Westway flyover last year.

According to figures obtained by the Evening Standard almost 1,000 motorists a month are being caught.

Transport for London say cameras help make London's roads safer and cut deaths and serious injury.
