Vaughan Gething, a candidate for the next first minister of Wales, has pledged to involve the public in a review of the controversial 20mph speed limit. He aims to position Wales at the forefront of the green revolution. The promise comes amidst revelations that English-based Conservative activists are running Facebook groups opposing the 20mph limit in Wales while supporting it in England. Gething emphasized the need for genuine public engagement in the review process, indicating it should not be merely a formality. The issue has sparked criticism, with a councillor being called out for leading anti-20mph groups in Wales.
