A FREEDOM of Information request has revealed the amount of convictions made following motorists exceeding the speed limit on new 20mph roads on Anglesey.

In April, the Chronicle asked North Wales Police to disclose the number of convictions for speeding on roads in North Wales which became 20mph speed limit roads from September 17, 2023.

North Wales Police responded today (May 1) with statistics correct as of April 29.

It documented 192 speeding offences caught by cameras, and 24 officer-issued offences across North Wales.

Gwynedd did not feature on the list, meanwhile.
