P-06-1318 Exempt A and B roads in Wales from the proposed blanket 20mph speed limit, Correspondence – Petitioner to Committee, 07.02.23

Whereas Mr. Waters has indicated that A and B roads are likely to be the subject of exceptions by local authorities, this is unlikely to happen as local authorities will likely be fully engaged in other issues relating to their areas. They will be accountable though to the local electorate. However, time will tell. 

I find it interesting that another petition against the implementation of a blanket 20mph speed limit raised in Change.org by Adie Drury, councilor for Buckley in North Wales, has attracted over 40000 signatures, whilst my petition has only attracted a little over 270 signatures, despite it enjoying UK wide publicity in the motoring press.

I am aware that individuals not domiciled in Wales have signed the petition. So under the Freedom of Information provisions I now require you to advise how many signatures were received for this petition from individuals who were not domiciled in Wales. I remind you that you have a limited time to respond to this request.
