The chaos! Shocked to find this morning I could go 30mph up Cowbridge Rd to Culverhouse, 60mph down the dual carriageway to the Bay, 40 up to Cogan. What happened to this blanket 20mph you promised me?

One of the ways we’re managing the spread of coronavirus is through contact tracing, done by local people in your area to keep you safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Last week they traced: 84% eligible cases ✅ 88% of their close contacts ✅ This ensures people are self-isolating to stop the spread 👏
