Speed limits could be returned to 30mph on 20 roads across a Welsh local authority following a ‘comprehensive review’.

Caerphilly County Borough said its officers had completed a “comprehensive review” of the borough’s speed limits after receiving 270 comments on potential changes, says Nation Cymru.

Those comments related to 120 roads across the county borough, of which the council has accepted 20 proposals for change.

It is carrying out one final round of public consultation, until Thursday November 27, to gather any comments or objections to its proposals.

The Welsh Government reduced the nation’s default speed limit to 20mph in September 2022 but later announced a “listening programme” following a public backlash to the policy.

That allowed the public to put forward roads, or sections of road, which they believed a 20mph speed limit was unnecessary and should instead revert to 30mph.
