GB News: Cardiff agrees to turn major roads across city centre back to 30mph in huge U-turn move
Cardiff City Council plans to revert four major roads from 20mph back to 30mph following public outcry. This decision comes after a review of the Welsh Government's controversial 20mph policy, which faced significant backlash since its introduction in September 2023.
The affected roads include Newport Road, Ocean Way, Hadfield Road, and a section of Western Avenue. While the council supports the 20mph policy, it aims to alleviate congestion and maintain consistency across routes. Despite the changes, data indicates that the 20mph limit has positively impacted safety, reducing serious injuries.

The Telegraph: Britons race for golden visas as Spain’s Left-wing PM shuts scheme
Britons and non-EU citizens must rush to secure Spain's “golden visa” residency before the scheme closes next month. The Left-wing government aims to cool the housing market, ending the program that allowed residency through a €500,000 property investment.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez argues the scheme fueled speculation in the housing market. Applicants have until April 3 to finalize their applications, but many may struggle due to delays in property transactions and obtaining necessary identification.
