Conservative ministers have abandoned reforms intended to limit councils' ability to implement 20mph zones and impose fines. Critics in the Conservative Party see this as dismissive of the needs of drivers. Labour has labeled these proposals as ineffective and of no real benefit. Shadow transport secretary Richard Holden accused Labour of intensifying policies against motorists. Two years prior, a Plan for Drivers was initiated by Rishi Sunak to ensure public involvement in council decisions, but these plans have now been halted as the Government reassesses its approach.
The Conservative Party branded the move a kick in the teeth to drivers, criticizing Labour's approach to heavy-handed policies against car owners, especially in London.
Richard Holden, the shadow transport secretary, asserted that Labour is escalating a targeted war on motorists and slammed the lack of public consultation on the reversal of policies.
