Traffic Update to Inspector Alun Oldfield of North Wales Police

Dear Alun,
Hope you are well
I see we in Flintshire are currently having "an accident a day" in the speeding traffic department sometimes with fatalities.
Perhaps an epidemic?
The traffic here in Chester Rd, Penyffordd continues to fly through all day.
So the accidents are of little surprise.
I note that the traffic through our village has the ability to do 60 mph along
a route to school.
As you will be well aware my request for the traffic data has been denied.
My claim of 2000 speeding cars a day unable to be proved.
The figures are completely embarrassing and show that Flintshire County Council
have no idea what so ever with regards traffic calming in villages.
I have made an appeal against the refusal to supply data.
The refusal to show data just hides the complete inefficiency of Arrive Alive
with regards speeding traffic in villages.
I think it true to say that with their current resources they are unable to help much
with the current epidemic of speeding in North Wales
Airbus had a publicity piece in The Evening Leader about safe driving last Friday.
Their shift workers however continue to plough through our village from
before shift start to shift end.
Some of the speeders are Raytheon but I have an idea most are Airbus.
If the Arrive Alive data is looked at with shift patterns of Airbus and Raytheon
it will be immediately apparent that they are a major problem in the village.
Airbus' public relations piece has no relation to "the reality" what so ever.
The solution to Chester Road is the inability of vehicles to do more than the speed limit.
Wrexham Council the masters, Flintshire Council the dunces.
kindest regards
Colin Hughes
Penyfordd.
ps I wonder if the new Corporate Responsibilty laws coming in April will have Flintshire County Council and the Welsh Assembly putting Safety before Leisure with regards how they spend our money?
