The Welsh Government has said cutting the speed from 30mph to 20mph would protect lives and save the NHS in Wales £92 million.
The rollout of a new 20mph speed limit for residential roads in Wales is “absolutely insane”, according to a UK Cabinet minister.
The change will be implemented from September 17 and First Minister Mark Drakeford said it is the “right thing to do”, citing a fall in urban road deaths in Spain after it made a similar change in 2019. “But more disturbingly it is going to increase individuals’ fuel bills considerably and actually be harmful to the environment.
Ms Mordaunt added: “This situation is what the Labour Party refers to as their blueprint for governing Britain.”
