Carl Longland the new Director for Environment Flintshire County Council

cc Cllr Arnold Woolley, Cllr Patrick Heesom.
Hi Carl
Congratulations on your new position with Flintshire County Council
as Director of Environment. I've been looking at this website that appears to have been set up by your new boss Chief Executive Colin Everett.
Its entitled " In Flintshire we call it getting things done". (except for village environment)
On the website there are details of you terms of reference.
Click here. Click on job reference (pdf)
I've had a good look through.
Its full of good stuff (guff) like this

1. Corporate Management & Leadership

Contribute to setting the corporate strategic agenda through leadership, forward planning, management and overall delivery of the Corporate Strategy to deliver positive outcomes for communities in Flintshire. As part of the corporate management, team ensure that corporate governance arrangements are developed, maintained and adhered to across the Council.Ensure corporate strategies, policies and procedures are effectively and consistently implemented across the council.
All fine words but part of another universe, not reality.
A good look through the above shows that your job has very little to do with village environment.This shows in the currect status of Chester Rd Penyffordd which is a noisy rat run for 100's of cars,  lorries and buses. Flintshire County Council website front page gives the impression of a rural county. Underneath environment wise it is rotten to the core in places like Chester Rd Penyffordd. 3000 vehicles a day even though we have a by pass. The place is lawless North Wales Police have given up on speeding traffic and illegal exhausts. They seem rather too close to Airbus corporate wise.
Flintshire Highways are hiding traffic data that shows how crap the place really is.You will be having a challenge in your new position in this third world county. Good luck. I will be in touch when you start in September
regards Colin Hughes
Penyffordd District
