A letter to The Flintshire Leader with regards to Nimbyism and Favouritism

Dear Evening Leader,
Last week you very kindly published a letter by myself criticizing the perceived lack of enthusiasm for a proposed 20 mph route to school plan for Flintshire by County Councillor Tony Sharps. My criticism that it was alright for Tony sitting behind a set of 20 mph bumps whilst we have cars flying by at 50mph all day and night.

In hindsight I should have also saluted Tony for his ability to persuade Flintshire County Council to close down Northop Hall to speeding traffic, the village has serious speed bumps at both entrances to the village. A glitch the other week in the speeding defences and Acting Director for Regeneration and Environment Dave Faulkner is out for a site meeting with Tony to sort it out. To my mind this smacks of favouritism.

I and other residents of Chester Road, Penyffordd would like to see Dave arrange a meeting with Penyffordd County Councillors Colin Bithell and David Williams to discuss the closing down of Chester Road in a similar manner to that which Northop Hall has been closed down. So that through traffic can not race into or out of our village.

Yours faithfully

Colin Hughes

Penyffordd District
