Ken Skates said in many areas ‘routes that shouldn’t have been included, were’.
Wales’s new transport minister has said the Government will “correct” its guidance around the introduction of 20mph speed limits in built-up areas.
“There will be change that addresses the concerns that a lot of people, including half-a-million people who signed the petition, raised on a consistent basis,” he said. “I imagine in some parts of Wales we will see relatively few changes and in others we will see quite a lot more, but we won’t know the degree of the change until we have completed that exercise, listening to people and taking stock of the routes people would like to see return to 30mph.”
Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of Plaid Cymru said the Government had implemented the policy ‘very poorly’.
