Speed cameras are back in the Black Country – a year after they were switched off.

Dudley Council has unveiled five new cameras – and will pay the £15,000 bill for installation and maintenance.
The cameras are positioned in Stourbridge, Gornal Wood, Quarry Bank and Halesowen. It comes after fixed speed cameras in the West Midlands were turned off last year in a cost-cutting move.
But today, council chiefs said they had put new cameras in place in response to 'long-standing requests' from communities.
One of the new cameras is on a 50mph stretch of the Manor Way dual carriageway in Halesowen, where Tipton motorcyclist Nick Foster died in a crash last June.
