An MP from the Shropshire border says he is having endless emails from constituents unhappy about the new 20mph speed limit in Wales.
Signs showing new 20mph limits have gone up in recent days
He says it was forced through without proper consultation or evidence and has launched a petition to overturn the policy and return speed limits in built-up areas to 30mph. "We have found conflicting signs on roads in Clwyd South and many people feel that the costs of changing signs would have been better spent on mending potholes.""But these should be clearly marked and enforced, and not applied to all roads. This policy also creates inconsistency at the border with England in Clwyd South. Sometimes, the border is not marked or splits streets in half. This means that the Highway Code does not apply equally across Britain.
"Since its implementation, my office has been contacted numerous times by residents who are concerned with various aspects of the change.
