Local Assembly Member Paul Davies recently met with Sustrans Cymru, to discuss safer speed limits in local communities. Mr Davies has been campaigning for slower speed limits around schools to make school areas safer, encourage cycling and walking and protect the local environment.

Mr Davies said, “I was delighted to meet with Sustrans representatives to discuss slower speed limits in our communities and the effect that these limits may have. I have been campaigning for some time to lower speed limits in school areas and so it’s great to see national organisations and groups taking this matter seriously, albeit in a wider context. This measure will certainly help save lives and prevent casualties and I’m sure they will be welcomed by local communities. Moving forward, we need to see local authorities implementing 20mph limits to make our school areas safer for local people and to encourage more people to walk or cycle.”
