    First off I am sure that putting all these unwanted signs cost some money.
    The fact that it will cost more to be removed only shows that this was
    another idea which has been a failure by the previous Labour Government.

    Never wanted by the public at large and cetainly not thought through. Just another control of the masses.

    Agreed. Where the new speed limits were imposed without consultation
    and without statistical justification for the areas concerned, the
    cost of remediation is a cost imposed by the unconsulted and
    unjustified changes made.

    I am aware of considerable consultation in quite a few instances, and
    concern about the removal of the limits with any consultation - and I
    doubt that removing signs is more expensive than installing them,
    except for those that ignore the effect of inflation . . .

    Show us where there was consultation. I am not aware of any. Regardless, the imposition of idiotic permanent speed reductions on main rural highways was nonsense.
