...has been torched! And it's only been there about two weeks! Looks like it might have had a tyre put on it and set on fire - perhaps at the weekend?

It's the one just south of the Blunsdon Hill roadworks.

The damage isn't immediately apparent from the driver-facing side. But look in the mirror and it has had the front melted off :-)

Rats. They took it down during the week (oh no, the public might see that GATSOs get torched!) so they must have installed a new one today.

They've put a second new 40mph camera on the new Blunsdon bypass downhill too, I see. Most unfortunate, as it would be a right beauty to drive at 70mph! smile
