Rejected petition Remove the 20mph speed limit put in place in Flintshire County Council towns
This change to all our road speed limits was not supported by the community and has been therefore installed as an autocratic council change. This puts our community at a disadvantage compared to all other communities across the UK; It will damage our businesses, stop people wanting to travel to our area, cause road range and devalue property prices. It’s unfair and should be either consistently brought in across Wales or removed immediately.
