Further on the Chief Constable visiting Penyffordd


The above item covered by The Evening Leader. Cllr Colin Bithell photographed for the article. No mention of the speeding traffic through Chester Rd in the article. I suppose Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom and Colin Bithell can't be seen to have anything to do with a so called vigilante.

You only normally get vigilante type action when the people in charge ignore what's going on ( a commentator at the bottom thinks otherwise). I have well over a 1000 speeding cars passed my house every day which is in the centre of the village. Both Colin and Cllr David Williams have shown little interest. A look around at councils around me shows better run villages. Rossett being a shining example. Compulsory 20 mph and traffic calming measures that make it near impossible to do more than 20 mph.

I noticed the other morning when out on the speed gun with PC Chris Pullen that there were quite a few children cycling to school. It's criminal that this traffic is allowed to fly through the village. Quite a few are fellow villagers, out of their little cul de sacs, foot to the floor. It was a culture shock for the rat run that morning. More speed training this week.

We are having trouble in the village with youths at the moment. The Chief Constable was shown a 20 minute video by a villager showing the antics of the youths. At one point one of the youths was seen "mooning" in front of the others. To the uninitiated showing his bum.

The Traffic Calming Initiative by North Wales Police nearly half way through. A difference of behaviour ie. less speed, can be seen by some drivers.

  1. "You only normally get vigilante type action when people in charge ignore what's going on" WRONG, SO WRONG. You only normally get vigilante action from those that fail to grasp reality. FACT!
    1000 speeding cars?? Make your mind up Colin - is it 1000, 2000, 1500 2200,2800 3000..... all these are numbers you have quoted. If you are going to protest at least be consistent. It is no wonder no-one takes you seriously!

  2. Living here, I see the traffic. I down grade from 2000 after comparing myself with PC Chris Pullen's speed gun. I am 5+ mph out. So I'm being generous. A point but we have many 100's of speeders, horses, children, OAP's.

    We are the village centre not the by-pass. I will be applying for data for Chester Rd from Flintshire County Council as to speeding. It is precise. It makes embarrassing reading as you will see.

  3. Very good....so let's confine the debate to facts when the facts are know. Over emphasising the point with crazy numbers will not see your campaign taken seriously.
