We'll find out more this afternoon about potential changes to the 20 miles per hour limit on roads across Wales.

Wales' Transport Minister is expected to announce some streets which currently fall under the 20mph speed limit could revert back to 30mph.

In his first address to the Senedd, Ken Skates will say his priority is to listen to the people of Wales and will work with councils to bring about targeted change.

It's understood the Welsh Government will look again at the guidance on the reduced speed limit.

Ken Skates has previously said in many areas "routes that shouldn't have been included, were".

He will give a statement to the Senedd as part of Plenary this afternoon.
