Russell George, Member of the Senedd for Montgomeryshire, has launched a survey to seek views of people and businesses about the 20mph default speed limit being introduced by the Welsh Government.

The plans, due to be introduced in September, reduce the presumed speed limit on a large proportion of Wales’ road network from 30mph to 20mph.

    The issue has divided views and therefore Russell George MS is seeking the views of people in rural Mid Wales about the new default speed.

    Mr George said:

    "In some areas, a reduced speed limit would be appropriate. In many instances I have campaigned for and requested a reduction to a 20mph speed restriction. I do however believe that a blanket 20mph introduction will have a serious negative impact, particularly on some stretches of Mid Wales roads where it is just not appropriate.

    “Recent online polls suggests that as many as 90% are against the plans. I want to establish how people feel in Montgomeryshire and so am encouraging people to take part in my survey.”

    The survey is open now, takes only a short time to complete and can be found at https://www.russellgeorge.com/campaigns/tailoring-20mph-restrictions-each-area
