Speed limits in Wales

inner london is 20mph

Totally agree with you Ian. Comrade Dripford is Totally out of touch with reality. They pumped gawd knows how many £100k's into health board in glan clwyd ( betsi cadwalader i think) then find out over a million quid gone missing....plaid will get into bed with anyone to get power. 20mph limits outside schools and hospitals yes but other places ffs nope. I'll be in first on the bike and probably 2nd in car. The new tourist tax is pathetic too...wanting tourists to come here but then charging them for coming ffs. The ass-embly in Cardiff getting power hungry. 

I agree Aled and Ian

I think Marks right, it's going to spread

As far as the Welsh Politburo believe Wales stops at the Valley's,even Mid Wales feels a bit neglected I believe, and as for us in the north,well we have more in common with Manchester & Liverpool generally than Wales. Weird pockets of 'indian' reservations aside,and Anglesey of course which keeps itself totally isolated from the mainstream,lots of third eyes and webbed feet thereabouts It will be interesting to see what the happens in Sept as I'm pretty sure most people have totally tuned out whatever nonsense comes out of Cardiff and won't have a clue it's happening. I can see a mad rush to buy speed cameras to top up council budgets.

Dick-tator dripford will do as he wants, the twats power hungry now. Too much power in the ass embly. The deputy environment minister or whatever he's calling himself admitted in an interview that hopefully it will encourage more people ro walk or cycle to work....hidden agenda anyone. They slso want to increase tha amount of ministers in yhat bloody place, like there's not enough bell ends there already. I despise dripford and those in ass embly. 400,000 already signed petition against this stupid restriction but will he pay attention..nope. but if they want to put a soddin flower pot or something irrelevant outside the ass embly they'll have a mass debate over it.

I'd find a 20mph camera, find a photo of a car that Comrade Drakeford uses, get a t-shirt made up with the relevant registration plate on the back, and repeatedly ride through the camera. As far as I'm aware, there is absolutely nothing illegal about doing that, but someone will get a log of NIPs in the post!

Classic case of helping to drive the legislation then stabbing labour in the back. Dripfords on about ulez style charging on busy roads. But only as a last resort apparently....he needs to go now
