Commenting on the news that a Senedd petition, calling for the Welsh Government to rescind and remove the 20mph law, is fast approaching 50,000 signatures, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister Natasha Asghar, MS said:
“The new blanket 20mph speed limit has been in place for just one day and already people have had enough of it. For more than 40,000 people to sign a petition within 24 hours shows the extent of public outrage towards Labour’s madcap policy.
“This highlights that there has been little to no consultation with the general public, the Labour Government have clearly avoided all public scrutiny in a bid to get their socialist agenda pushed through.
“Labour and Plaid Cymru have refused to listen to public opinion and are continuing to wage their anti-worker, anti-road and anti-motorist agenda. With this ludicrous policy forced on the people of Wales, Labour can still U-turn on this disastrous rollout and deliver what Wales wants by scrapping blanket 20mph zones across Wales.”
