What consideration has the Minister given to comments from holiday let operators in Wales who say they are losing business because customers are concerned about the 20 mile an hour speed limits?
Unfortunately, the language used to describe the change in speed limit has been distorted, with terms such as blanket limits. This misconception has potentially confused matters and we are continuing to provide marketing around the changes, to provide correct information on the default 20mph limits.
20mph will make built-up areas safer for local communities and tourists alike and they will be able to travel across Wales largely as before. Much of the holiday accommodation in our villages, towns and cities will benefit from safer streets where it is easier to walk and cycle and where lower traffic speeds will make it a more pleasant place to stay. However, I would be happy to consider evidence from holiday let operators and other businesses about the effects of the 20mph speed limit.
