Fresh calls for 20mph speed limit to be scrapped
The Welsh Conservatives will hold a debate in the Senedd later.
The Welsh Conservatives want two of the Welsh Government's major transport policies scrapped.
A debate will be held in the Senedd this afternoon calling for an end to the ban on new roads being built across Wales - as well as a rethink on the 20 miles per hour speed limit.
The party says it wants to 'get Wales moving again'.
Commenting ahead of the debate, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister, Natasha Asghar MS, said: “Labour Ministers in Cardiff Bay continue to push their anti-motorist agenda, with drivers being forced out of their vehicles through Labour Government policy.
“The people of Wales want to get on with their daily lives, yet Labour’s lack of investment in public transport, road building ban, and 20mph speed limits are preventing them from doing exactly this.
“In the Senedd next week, we’ll be calling on the Welsh Labour Government to end their war on motorists, scrap their road building ban and 20mph speed limits, and to get Wales moving again.”
In a statement a Welsh Government spokesperson said: “The Cabinet Secretary has been clear that his immediate priority on 20mph is to listen. To support this, in the weeks ahead he will be engaging with elected representatives, businesses and communities across Wales.”
