This is fairly frightening and bordering on the bizarre - there four different Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups, and all have the same Sunderland-based Conservative chap as an admin. In his own town he’s pro 20mph. Worth reading @WillHayCardiff ’s whole thread.

Though Mr Reed has seemingly dedicated significant energy opposing the 20mph limit in Wales, his opposition doesn’t seem to transfer to his home town. He posed for this picture where he proudly announced he had arranged an “extension of the 20mph zone”.
