🚗💨 **Reform UK’s Bold Move: The 20mph Debate!**
In a lively press conference at Newport’s ICC, Reform UK announced their first promise for the upcoming Senedd election: to ditch Wales’ default 20mph speed limit! 🎉
Led by Nigel Farage, the party introduced Dan Thomas as the new head in Wales. Formerly a Conservative councillor, Thomas is back in Wales, ready to make waves.
Thomas passionately spoke to supporters and press, saying, “We’re all for scrapping the blanket 20mph speed limit. While it makes sense near schools and hospitals, applying it everywhere isn’t right.”
But when pressed on how much this policy change would cost, Thomas admitted, “No clue yet! Our upcoming manifesto will have all the details.”
Supporters are hyped, yet questions remain about the possible costs and the impact on public safety.
Critics point to casualty data from the first year of the 20mph limit, which showed a 28% drop in injuries and fewer fatalities. 🚦📉
So, as we wait for Reform UK’s detailed manifesto, the big question is: will scrapping 20mph limits be a game-changer or a risky move for Wales? 🤔
