The Community Council Meeting July 2007

A good meeting, the committee more "collected" than normal. Will add items as Lisa is debriefed.
The new Beat manager is tall he has to duck when going through the door. PC Chris Pullen looks impressive, the business. He is still changing over from Buckley so things are a bit slow till he finalises things.
1. Penymynydd Woods. Chris has been patrolling the area on foot. The woods are being used for unsavoury activities between males who communicate by mobile phone and The Internet. I'm not mentioning the "d" word. (d_o_g_g_i_n_g ) If you put in the "d" word and Penyffordd my blog is at the top of Google. Not something I want to be famous for. In fact I'm going to put a wild card character in my original post to disguise the d word so I not turn up.
There are 3 levels of dealing with it. Intelligence, Patrol and Physical.
The Clerk to the Council takes his dog in the woods twice a day.
Colin Bithell wants to know what the flashing lights codes mean. Edwina asks why they need lights on because its daylight. The clerk opines that the busiest time is 4 - 6 pm. The Evening Leader's recent front page articles suggest an epidemic. Lisa and myself use the woods as a short cut because of traffic issues at Penymynydd roundabout during rush hour.

2. Colin Bithell is pushing through with the traffic calming measures. Tom Jones said Colin should be thanked for his efforts. (I think otherwise, he has been too slow with Chester Rd speeding.)

3. Some free tickets for the upcoming Eisteddfod at Mold. Since the work councilors do is unpaid freebies are handed out by organisations as a form of thank you. Tom Jones say its usual for the Chairman to have a couple of tickets. Stan shows little interest but Edwina is keen. So Stan's going.
