High Garrett’s bird box ‘speed camera’

Available for over a year

Nick Porter from High Garrett has built a ‘speed camera’ disguised as a bird box to deter speeding motorists in the village. The device is on the A1017 between High Garrett and Gosfield and has been in position since December 2023. Image credit: Stuart Woodward/Âé¶¹Éç. Braintree District Council told the Âé¶¹Éç it had not received a planning application or any enforcement inquiries in relation to the imitation camera, and was unable to say if the structure required planning permission or not without viewing it first.
