Powys County Council has announced plans to keep some roads in Newtown at 30mph, when all restricted roads in Wales are due to become 20mph from September.

The council will start consultations on potential speed limit adjustments for 241 road stretches in Powys. However, Newtown will continue to have selected roads at 30mph.

Lengths of road to remain 30mph in Newtown include:

• C2087 – Park Street from a point approximately 6 metres in a southerly direction from the junction with U4245 Frolic Street in a southerly direction to the junction with A4811 New Road.
• U4244 –  Park Lane from its junction with C2087 Park Street to a point approximately 44 metres in a north westerly direction from the junction with U4243 Parklands.

Details of the consultation will be published shortly.
