A Letter to Colin Everett Chief Executive of Flintshire County Council

Dear Colin,
Hope you are well. A good win against Cardiff City last week. I'm just finishing off a triple glazing modification to my double glazing in the front bedroom. Its very effective and looks no different to the original double glazing. Double glazing doesn't stop 50 mph traffic noise through our 30 mph (should be 20 mph) village centre.
Todays motorist only understands 2 things. Points on license and the inability to do more than the speed limit with engineering solutions.
I watched one of your vans come through at 40 + mph. I see you still haven't got your workforce under control.
Flintshire County Council continue to be in the dark ages as far as traffic calming for villages is concerned. I say villages as our larger towns edge towards pedestrianisation.

I get the feeling that Charles Hughes' (Head of Engineering) position is traffic calming for Chester Rd over his dead body. Quite frankly that is a better option than a body of an OAP, child or horse in Penyffordd.

When is Flintshire County Council going to wake up to its responsibilities to Penyffordd? Perhaps its because I have 2 county councillors who do not find 2000 speeding cars daily through our village centre an issue. I press on for the traffic data which shows how shameful Flintshire County Council is towards Chester Rd Penyffordd.
Is it time to stop wasting North Wales Police and Arrive Alive's limited resources on an issue they cannot stop?

Colin Hughes
Penyffordd District
