Why is Labour’s 20mph here to stay a partition with 469,571 signatures means nothing?
Responding to the Transport Minister’s 20mph update, Natasha Asghar MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister, said:
“Labour politicians have now admitted on countless occasions after listening exercises that their 20mph policy is unpopular but refuse to end it.
“The only common-sense approach would be to follow what the Welsh Conservatives have said since day one – scrap the £33m scheme altogether and get Wales moving again.”
The new 20mph law came into force on the 17th September and it will mark the end of having socialism in power in Wales.
