Dear Chief Constable

cc PC Chris Pullen Beat Manager Penyffordd and Higher Kinnerton

Dear Chief Constable,

As I type our rat run flows. Hundreds of unwanted speeding unthoughtful motorists flying through our village many of whom work for Raytheon and Airbus who appear to have little interest of the daily damage they do to our village environment.

Their corporate statements on local environment, a load of old tosh.

Our village of Penyffordd and Higher Kinnerton have very little crime. This is the area covered by our excellent beat manager PC Pullen.

I am however very disappointed in Chris with regards the prosecution of speeders many of whom do not live in our village but use it as a short cut.
At the neighbourhood forum Chris said he will be able to manage to come out about once a month with his personal speed gun. I find this very disappointing.

I have told Chris the times, the places that his presence with his speed gun will have the greatest impact. I think its called local intelligence.

Arrive Alive are currently being of no use what so ever for small communities in North Wales with problems similar to Penyffordd. As previously stated they should either be given the resources to deal with this serious issue or be wound up and replaced by a self funded privatised company thus lightening the public purse.

The long term solution to this issue being in Flintshire Highways' arena. Their current behaviour is despicable considering we have a by - pass.

I hope the new Chief Executive Colin Everett will apply some common sense and sympathy to this issue. Flintshire Environment being somewhat redundant for Penyffordd which is a rural village.

Yours sincerely

Colin Hughes

Penyffordd District

Postscript. I look forward to the introduction of 20 mph route to school for Chester Road, Penyffordd. I thank you for raising this very important issue on which Flintshire County Council are currently being a little backward.
