Carl Sargeant AM writes to Chris Kay with regards speeding motorists on Chester Rd Penyffordd

Hi Carl

Thanks for your letter to Chris Kay of which you have sent me a copy

We need to bear in mind the following

We have 2000 plus speeders a day (Hugh Jones (Arrive Alive) has the data) My figure is an educated guess

We have many HGV's

I'm quite prepared to sit outside and photograph all the HGV's passing

through Chester Rd if it will help to get them stopped

HGV's are normally stopped going through local villages

if there is a large development taking place locally.

Arrive Alive will not stop this many speeders. (Their remit mainly is for roads that kill people)

I'm looking for at least 3 people to sacrifice their lives to get Arrive Alive to take notice ( Black Joke)

I have a letter under construction for ArriveAlive Management

Verticle platforms will slow them down to 30 mph if designed properly.

Verticle Platforms are used everywhere now, I think Flintshire Highways dont like them on Trunk Roads

They dont like ( I Think) Compulsory 20 mph zones, Cheshire and Wrexham now have them everywhere

36mph in a 20 mph gets you 4 points on the license.

Flintshire County Council have a duty under the Local Government Act 2000 in The Environment section

They are not showing a duty to Chester Rd Penyffordd at the moment.

Thank you for your continuing support

regards Colin
