Commenting on the news that the Junior Tour of Wales cycling race has been shortened and rerouted due to Labour’s 20mph speed limit, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister, Natasha Asghar MS said:
“It is extremely disappointing to see yet another fixture in Wales impacted by the Welsh Government’s default 20mph speed limit policy.
“This exciting event, hosted in Wales for 43 years, has always attracted bright young talent and spectators from all across the UK, and I can only imagine the amount of work that must have gone into route planning and organisation – all for it to be changed at such late notice with inconsistencies in guidance from different authorities throughout the entire process.
“Sporting events such as these should not have to suffer as a direct result of unintended consequences from the Labour Welsh Government’s policies. Only the Welsh Conservatives will scrap the 20mph policy and bring common sense back to our roads.”
