Deiseb a wrthodwyd Stop the Welsh Government imposing blanket 20mph speed limits across the whole of Wales by 2023.
Although a majority Labour led Government has been voted for, this is a policy that has very little support among the citizens of Wales. It's an elected government's duty to represent the people who elected them, not to act in a manner that goes against their voters' wishes. This is a policy that is unfavorable, and at the very least should be subject to a referendum. As it stands data suggests that this is a policy that is clearly not wanted by the people of Wales.

This policy will not only increase journey times, but also has the potential of increasing accidents. The Welsh Government's own report says it will cost the economy billions, with Mark Travis, the assistant chief constable for South Wales Police, saying that the 20mph limit would have an impact on how police forces and other emergency services could perform their core business. The Welsh Government has already spent £27m changing to 20mph speed limit signs, which is money that could have been far better spent elsewhere. Ultimately though, this is a policy that goes against the peoples' wishes, so therefore shouldn't go ahead. A referendum would confirm this, and anything less than a referendum regarding this matter is simply undemocratic. In fact, this policy could be classed as tyrannical, as it is a policy that has manifested purely through arbitrary use of power and control, and not from the majority of citizens.
