Louise Haigh says she will support local 20mph speed limits
Briefly

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh emphasized her commitment to supporting local authorities in introducing 20mph speed limits, despite significant public opposition shown in a recent YouGov poll.
Haigh criticized the previous government's approach to transport policies, labeling their stance on 20mph limits and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods as "ridiculous," advocating for a fresh perspective in policy-making.
According to a YouGov survey, 70% of Welsh drivers oppose the 20mph speed limit introduced in built-up areas, highlighting a disconnect between policy implementation and public sentiment.
The Transport Secretary asserted that it was wrong for the previous government to impose speed limit regulations from Whitehall, advocating for local decision-making in traffic management.
