A YouGov poll shows seven in ten Welsh people oppose the default 20mph speed limit.

Natasha Asghar MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister, said:

“It is clear that the opposition to Labour’s 20mph policy is widespread, continuing to grow and the Welsh Government’s ‘listening’ exercise is clearly not having the desired affect on the Welsh public changing their mind in relation to this madcap Labour/Plaid policy.

“This latest poll shows people in Wales are rightly frustrated with the £33 million policy that will hit the Welsh economy by up to £9 billion.

“The Welsh Conservatives have been clear; we will scrap 20mph, roll out a targeted approach in sensitive areas, reverse Labour’s road building ban and get Wales moving in the right direction.”
