Responding to reports that some 20mph speed limits will revert to 30mph in Wales, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“Labour’s 20mph speed limits are sadly here to stay.
“Any change to the guidance will be cosmetic, and cosmetic changes will not fool the Welsh public.
“Smoke and mirrors around guidance will not do. This policy needs to be scrapped in its entirety.”
Natasha Asghar MS, Shadow Minister for Transport, added:
“People in Wales know full well that Labour’s change of tack on 20mph is a sham.
“Welsh taxpayers want real change when it comes to this policy, not smoke screen promises with no real action.
“Forget a change of guidance, it’s time for Labour to accept that this law was a terrible mistake and repeal it.”
