An Official Complaint to Charles Hughes Head of Engineering

1 Penymynydd Road
Penyffordd
Chester CH4 0LS

Charles Hughes
Head of Engineering
Flintshire County Council

31st July 2007


Dear Charles,

Over 90 days ago you were good enough to attend a meeting at Penyffordd Institute to discuss Traffic Calming measures for Chester Road. I look at traffic calming measures for Chester Rd as a three leg stool with your department's actions required to keep the stool standing. The other two legs being Arrive Alive and North Wales Police. Your department is the most important as you can stop the traffic from speeding through our village road 24/7.

There are two elements to traffic speeding through Chester, Penyffordd.
1. The Danger aspect
2. The noise aspect due to speed of vehicles.

So my complaint is the following.

1. After 90 days there is no start to the traffic calming of Chester Rd, Penyffordd
2. Your planned efforts (that I know of) will have no effect on speeding traffic out of the village. The speeding traffic starts its acceleration curve outside the Post Office, the speed and noise being loudest outside my house, George across the road and Mr Davies' house.
3. Your refusal to grant Chester Road freedom from passing through HGV's even though we have a by pass for their use.


regards Colin Hughes
