The Welsh Government says it is making the change to reduce the number of collisions and severe injuries from them. It also wants to reduce the impact on the NHS from treating the people who are injured and encourage more people to walk and cycle. "It is an area that has amenity land across the road from houses. There are children living there and also older people - who find it very difficult to cross the road," she said."My only worry is that they won't give enough time for motorists to go from 60 to 40 to 20. Drivers will be going up and down their gears all the time."

"But I suppose if they are driving at a slower speed they may be more aware of cyclists and pedestrians."

Wales tourism: Plans for tourism tax move a step closerOpponents say it will put people off visiting, but supporters believe it will help maintain areas. Labour can't stop taxing. It's a complete con, just like in Majorca. Sounds similar to Brexit... 'We are going to make so much money!' A year later 'Shit! Hotels, bars, campsites who were paying tax are closing. Little shops, tourist attractions reporting dropping in sales!' Sadly then wales won’t be a place to visit for holidays or days out. The folly of doing things like this is the everyday Joe won’t be able to afford to go. Like thing arnt expensive enough.

Refugee-friendly Canada tightens its border with the United StatesEven so, the country is set to welcome more migrants through legal routes I don’t blame you, Canada. Our trash is about to wage war against our morally sound population over a mob boss ex president who doesn’t care about them. 🫠 lol nobody wants obese mentally ill Americans shitting up their country and I dont blame them. Canada doesn't want a bunch of greasy Americans coming up there to take their jobs and teach their kids bad habits.
