Wales is not Working for Penyffordd

Dear Welsh MEP's,

I live in a small Welsh Village with a By Pass called Penyffordd, we are the Penyffordd near Wrexham. . Our village is plagued by speeding, noisy lorries, cars and motorcycles, over 2000 speeders a day. Our village centre which still has a Post Office is used by children, Oap's and many local people. It is also a route to school and used by horses.

I see that the EU is spending money on research into quieter tyres and road surfaces.

This research seems rather bizarre when I am surrounded by noise, I live in a rural Welsh village with green fields on all sides

The Welsh Assembly, North Wales Police, VOSA and Flintshire County Council allow youths to have illegal loud exhaust systems, the manufacture and sale of illegal exhaust systems.

There is also the large question of these youths being uninsured due to the modifications. They fool the MOT people by swapping the exhaust for the test or our MOT stations turn a blind eye.

On the motorcycle side North Wales is reduced to a race track morning and evening and all weekend. Motorcycles can be constantly heard doing the ton on our by pass which is maybe half a mile from our village centre. Their exhaust systems are loud and illegal, recently a 90 mph motorcyclist ended up inside a car , the terrified family trapped inside for 90 minutes with the body.

Also Flintshire County Council have this grand idea of "improving the A55 road network" at Warren Hall, allowing 2 large developments that together with the "road network improvement" will add millions of cars polluting Chester Road with :-

• Carbon Monoxide
• Nitrogen dioxide
• Sulphur dioxide
• Suspended particles including PM-10, particles less than 10 microns in size.
• Benzene
• Formaldehyde
• Polycyclic hydrocarbons

The residents of Chester Road are mainly elderly. The above pollutants will affect them more than myself.
I would like to know what the EU can do to push the Welsh Authorities concerned to face up to their responsibilities for North Wales.

Chester Road Penyffordd does not want Millions of extra Speeding Cars and Noise Pollution we have a By Pass that is not being properly used.

Kind regards Colin Hughes
