theo@lemmy.worldtoFuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Wales lowers speed limit to 20 mph to cut car use and save lives

1 year agoThe Tories originally supported the proposal which is quite hilarious seeing how much stink they are throwing currently.
I do agree public transport needs more funding but they are in a pretty tricky situation where the Gov has very little money to improve the service (partly due to Wales transport funds being spent on HS2) and at the same time bus usage is down and not recovered after lockdowns. I hope the 20mph limits will encourage more onto busses, but I am not confident.
To add to this, I get paid more as a junior in Wales which should be comparable to NW England economically.
