Labour blames everyone but themselves for their disastrous blanket 20mph speed limit rollout
Responding to the exchange with the Deputy Minister Natasha Asghar MS, Shadow Transport Minister, said:
“In the chamber this afternoon I challenged Labour’s Deputy Minster on his disastrous blanket 20mph speed limit, but he attempted to point the finger of blame elsewhere.
“By appointing Phil Jones to review the policy – the same man who recommended the Welsh Government introduce this policy in the first place – Labour Ministers are marking their own homework when it comes to this policy.
“As far as I am concerned, we don’t need a review – we need the policy scrapped – as we can already see the huge damage Labour’s war on motorists is inflicting upon Wales by hampering people’s livelihoods, damaging our public transport network and slowing our emergency services down.”
Plenty of money for 20 MPH but no money for potholes
