I hope to scrap 20mph limit says candidate

REFORM'S candidate in a by-election has said he hopes to scrap a controversial 20mph default speed limit.

- 

Wales became the first country in the UK to reduce the default speed limit in built-up areas in 2023.

The move was strongly opposed, with a petition against the law having been signed by nearly 470,000 people - the largest in Senedd history.

After a press conference in Caerphilly, Llyr Powell, the party’s newly-announced candidate for a by-election in October, claimed the speed limit had “put a lot of businesses off” investing in the region.
