Rejected petition We demand a referendum on the Welsh government's mandatory 20mph speed limit!

The Welsh government's 20mph speed limit imposition is straining our democracy, diverting funds from vital services like social care, education, healthcare, and road maintenance. We must unite as Welsh citizens to voice our concerns about the government's representation of our interests.

More details

Facebook groups and local communities are in an uproar because we haven't been consulted about whether we want to spend over £3 million on these widespread 20mph speed limits or allocate those funds to matters that truly count, like education and social care.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue, or if the Petitions Committee has considered one in the last year.

The Petition: P-06-1295 Hold a public poll on the reduction of the default speed limit BEFORE it comes in to force, was considered by the Committee within the last 12 months.
