20MPH: claims of success from Labour are premature

Natasha Asghar

Responding to the latest 20mph statistics in Wales, Natasha Asghar MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister, said: 

“Whilst these figures seem encouraging, any claims of the success of 20mph speed limit are still premature.

“With accidents and deaths increasing from earlier this year, questions must be asked about whether the 20mph policy is truly making a difference where it matters most.

“The Welsh Conservatives have always supported 20mph outside sensitive areas. Yet, Labour’s rollout and refusal to listen to the Welsh public has slowed Wales down unnecessarily.”
