What the petition asks
The Welsh government are implementing a blanket 20 mph speed limit in Wales. Everyone agrees, around school, hospitals, care homes, playgrounds etc, there should be a 20 mph limit, but it is not necessary to a blanket limit across all areas and all times. Stop the blanket 20 mph speed limit.
Either the Welsh government repeal this ludicrous decision or Westminster lobby the Welsh government to make the change.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
