What the petition asks
Welsh assembly members are not listening to the people of Wales. It is not only the disastrous roll out of the default 20mph speed limit either!
Ministers are supposed to work on behalf of their Country not against it, nor enforce draconian measures, regulations and restrictions upon its people.
Ministers are supposed to work on behalf of their Country not against it, nor enforce draconian measures, regulations and restrictions upon its people.
The Ministers rely upon a flawed survey of 1000 people from selected areas. These Ministers are contradictory in their reasoning and also rely upon non scientific information. The speed limit is certainly not conducive to creating a cleaner Wales as motor vehicles are not efficient at such low speeds. Rather than punish motorists it would be far more effective educating pedestrians and other road users.
WALES IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY AND SHOULD NOT BE UNDER THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE FEW!
