More details

For people who ain’t key workers such as students need this as an essential to get jobs and help rebuild the economy. If they do ease the restrictions on driving lessons, this would allow driving instructors have their livelihoods back and also reduce the amount of people on public transport which would reduce the transmission rate on public transport. The Welsh Government are ignoring this request and we want clarity! Help and share this to get recognition from the Welsh Government.
