Decision:

Procurement of an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and CCTV weight limit enforcement system at Cawood Swing Bridge.

Reasons for the decision:

The Listed bridge has a 10t weight limit. The weight limit is currently enforced using a camera system, however, that contract has now ended and the existing system is no longer able to be supported due to age. Following a serious vandal attack on the bridge in 2023, the new ANPR system will incorporate a CCTV component.

Alternative options considered:

Reuse of the existing system was explored, however, it is no longer able to be supported. It has also been plagued with issues, therefore a new system is preferred.
