An Email to Hugh Jones Road Safety Officer for Flintshire County Council

Dear Hugh
Hope you are well
I see you are appearing regularly with SID (Speed Indicator Display) in The Evening Leader. Whilst Policing by Media has its place it grates a little when I see over a 1000 vehicles a day speed passed my house which is a major route to school.

The Arrive Alive Partnership over the last year have told lies over FOIE's and have refused to hand over valuable data that shows the true extent of speeding in Chester Rd, Penyffordd

You now have traffic data for Chester Rd for 2 periods that includes the begining of May 2007 and the middle of June 2008.
This data can be put on Microsoft Excel and will show if any progress has been made.

The data you now have can show in my opinion based on looking at your equipment.

1. Total number of vehicles per day
2. Total number of speeding vehicles each day and their exact speeds
3. Total number of speeding lorries and buses each day
4. Increase of traffic density between surveys
5. The wholesale disregard by Airbus and Raytheon shift workers for Penyffordd village environment.

Are Flintshire County Council and The Arrive Alive Partnership going to honour their commitment to road safety or are you going to continue with this charade with councillors hiding their incompetence behind your refusal to show anonymous traffic data that is vital to the safety of children in Chester Rd, Penyffordd?

On Wednesday evening Chief Superintendent Ruth Purdie will address Penyffordd Community Council. This would be a good opportunity for North Wales Police who are part of the Arrive Alive Partnership to show leadership and give a complete set of traffic data for the periods above.

regards Colin Hughes
Penyffordd District
