A Northants Police speed camera van is parked up on the bridge above the A45 near to Billing Aquadrome and Ecton Brook.

Police released a message to speeding motorists when the first lockdown began last year, urging them to slow down and not use the emptier roads irresponsibly.

The police said back in April: "With the volume of traffic at the lowest it has been for years, Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance is urging motorists to slow down when driving on our county roads.
