Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
Labour have failed in Wales, we want the UK government to use their powers to revoke the 20mph blanket speed limit in Wales.
Welsh people are worried about increased emmisions, longer journey times, the rising price of fuel, higher incidents of road rage, prosecution from camera partnerships, higher insurance premiums, delays to emergency response times and the estimated cost of 9 billion pounds to the Welsh economy over 30 years.
Mark drakeford has chosen to ignore an official sennedd petition with more than 200k signatures and uses media appearances to tell us to "get used to it"
We will NOT.
