On the second anniversary of the introduction of Labour and Plaid Cymru’s disastrous 20mph speed limit, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, Sam Rowlands MS, has slammed the Welsh Government’s 20mph speed limit policy, saying it has cost millions, risks billions in economic damage, and ignores overwhelming public opposition.

Mr Rowlands, Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Transport and Infrastructure, is leading the Welsh Conservative’s campaign to scrap the default 20mph speed limit.

He said:

The Labour Welsh Government ignored the people of North Wales when they forced through their disastrous 20mph speed limit and dismissed a record-breaking Senedd petition calling to scrap it.

The rollout has already cost taxpayers £32 million, with an estimated hit to the economy of up to £9 billion. Labour and Plaid’s blanket 20mph speed limit has been nothing short of a disaster for Wales.

Lower speed limits make sense outside schools, hospitals and in dangerous areas, but Labour and Plaid’s one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. The Welsh Conservatives are the only party in the Senedd committed to scrapping Labour’s 20mph speed limit.

 

Terfyn cyflymder cyffredinol 20mya Llafur a Plaid wedi bod yn drychineb i’r Gogledd yn ôl Sam Rowlands AS

Ar ail ben-blwydd cyflwyno terfyn cyflymder trychinebus Llafur a Plaid Cymru o 20mya, mae’r Aelod o’r Senedd dros Ogledd Cymru, Sam Rowlands AS, wedi beirniadu polisi terfyn cyflymder 20mya Llywodraeth Cymru, gan ddweud ei fod wedi costio miliynau, yn peryglu gwerth biliynau o bunnoedd o ddifrod economaidd, a’i fod yn troi cefn ar wrthwynebiad llethol y cyhoedd.

Mae Mr Rowlands, Ysgrifennydd Cabinet yr Wrthblaid dros Gyllid, Trafnidiaeth a Seilwaith, yn arwain ymgyrch y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig i ddileu'r terfyn cyflymder cyffredinol o 20mya.

Meddai:

Fe wnaeth Llywodraeth Llafur Cymru anwybyddu pobl y Gogledd drwy orfodi eu terfyn cyflymder trychinebus o 20mya a gwrthod deiseb y Senedd yn galw am ei ddileu.

Mae'r cam hwn eisoes wedi costio £32 miliwn i’r trethdalwyr, gydag ergyd ragamcanol o hyd at £9 biliwn i'r economi. Mae terfyn cyflymder 20mya Llafur a Plaid wedi bod yn drychineb i Gymru.

Mae terfynau cyflymder is yn gwneud synnwyr y tu allan i ysgolion, ysbytai ac mewn ardaloedd peryglus, ond nid yw un-dull-addas-i-bawb Llafur a Plaid yn gweithio. Y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yw'r unig blaid yn y Senedd sydd wedi ymrwymo i ddileu terfyn cyflymder 20mya Llafur.
