A new petition has demanded that 20mph speed limits should be scrapped in the New Year.

Speed limit rules are set to change in one part of the UK, with certain vehicles soon allowed to travel faster.

Locals have called out a new 10mph speed limit introduced at a busy London high street with residents blasting the scheme as a "joke".

Drivers have been slapped with hefty motoring fines for breaking new rules introduced in communities across the country.
