Penyffordd Traffic Calming Initiative by North Wales Police.

An email from PC Chris Pullen with times and dates for sessions with his speed radar gun. NWP want councillors involved so that it shows that the community care about their village environment.
There has been 2 or 3 councillors who are not keen on this type of initiative involving themselves. I think quite a few more as well.

This might partially explain why Chester Rd has about 2200 speeders each day.
Take Pontblyddyn which is the main link between Wrexham and Mold. They have the traffic tied down to 30 mph. They have a community council with vision.

Here in Penyffordd traffic does 40 mph plus on the by-pass and makes Penyffordd sound like it is next to the A55 when wind blows as it normally does. Also the traffic surface is noisy.

Penyffordd Councillors in general think very little about our village centre environment.
Cllrs Cindy Hinds and Linda Vidamour being exceptions.
We currently have 2200 speeding cars due to our County Councillors lack of vision for Penyffordd. We are currently seen as a good short cut and little else, a soft touch.

Our County Councillors seem quite happy with Broughton developments bringing Penyffordd an extra two or three million cars a year through the village.

I will be volunteering for any spots not taken up by councillors.

One hopes for county councillors and community councillors to rise to the challenges to our village environment in this 21st century.
