Is Stopping Speeding Traffic in Penyffordd a Vote Loser?

Yesterday Cllr Colin Bithell grandstanding in The Evening Leader with Penyffordd Primary School pupils. The children were being shown around Shire Hall Mold, a days education about democracy.
I single Colin out but its what politicians have to do.
I think Cllr David Williams and Cllr Colin Bithell are reluctant to make Penyffordd a safe village because it will cost them votes.

I think David has loads of mates down the Red Lion who most probably live in the quiet cul de sacs of Penyffordd who take umbrage at being told to slow down in the middle of our short cut rat run village. I think Cllr Colin Bithell also sees traffic calming as a vote loser.
So safety of Penyffordd village and its environment , its children, horses and OAP's lose out to the pragmatism of democracy.

It's very sad really.

Or do I give David and Colin too much credit and they really don't give a damn about village environment?
