Another tragic death this time in Hawarden whilst Flintshire County Council are behind the scenes planning to remove funding * earmarked for village / town road safety. Is life and village environment not more important than decoration and county hall reception alterations?
Funds are being frittered away on wallpaper and the likes whilst road deaths are becoming a near weekly statistic. Is it not time for FCC to get a grip and take proper responsibility for the carnage on Flintshire roads? North Wales Police and Flintshire County Council are supposed to act as a partnership to lower speeding in Flintshire villages and towns which is a serious anti social behaviour issue.

It is a fact that shift workers*** fly through Chester Rd Penyffordd each morning at 50 mph. We are an accident waiting to happen just like Glynne Way, Hawarden. FCC and NWP know this is happening but just ignore the issue.
Where is the county strategy to protect village environments? Cllr Tony Sharps in charge of FCC Environment Portfolio has Northop Hall protected but what about the rest of us?

“It’s only a 30mph road but a lot of cars are doing more than 60mph.”
Hawarden councillor Clive Carver has campaigned for speed restrictions along Glynne Way.
He said: “This is very sad news but Glynne Way and the road out of Hawarden has had problems for a while with accidents.
“Something has to be done about it because we do not want to see a repeat of this incident.”
