Welsh Tories' attack on new 20mph speed limit defeated
A 20mph speed limit sign
CAMPAIGNERS have applauded the defeat of a Tory bid to stop the rollout of the new 20mph speed limit for residential roads in Wales.
The Welsh Conservative motion to stop the planned measure was defeated on Wednesday evening after Plaid Cymru and Welsh Labour joined forces to vote against it.
The new speed limit will start on September 17 when most roads in Wales that are currently 30mph will become 20mph, although councils have discretion to impose exemptions.
