VALE OF CLWYD MS Gareth Davies has said more roads in Denbighshire should be exempt from the new 20mph limit.

Speed limit signs on certain roads were changed in line with the introduction of the new 20mph speed limit which came into effect Wales-wide in September.

The introduction of the new speed limit on residential roads in Wales has proven controversial, with many motorists both for and against the move.

In an open letter to Denbighshire County Council’s traffic, parking and road safety manager, Gareth Davies MS provided a list of the roads he believes should also be exempt from the new regulation.

He said: “I’ve submitted a list of possible roads in Vale of Clwyd to be considered for exemption from the Welsh Government’s Blanket 20mph policy.

“I hope these suggestions are looked at seriously as they’re based on feedback from local people who remain up in arms.”
