Penyffordd Community Council and Speeding

I am for ever grateful to The Evening Leader for publishing this letter today. After two and half years I have lost patience. I know of no other community that has more speeding traffic than Chester Rd Penyffordd. Over a 1000 speeders each day is a lot of speeders. Each Penyffordd Community Council meeting which Lisa attends I ask her when she returns "Was speeding in Chester Rd mentioned. Usually the answer is negative.

There has been this extreme reluctance to even acknowledge its existence. The Summer Penyffordd Community Newsletter can't even mention that Chester Rd is a problem area. Last local elections were rigged. I say this not as a sore loser. Cllr Tom Jones has a group vote which he uses to keep out potential councillors who will not toe his line. Cllr Joe Bell should never have stood, he is too unwell. It's time for most councillors to retire. Local elections have been rigged for years and it shows through in poor community facilities.

Penyffordd Community Council have been toothless in their dealings with North Wales Police. They should be pressing them to enforce law and order in Chester Rd not sitting on their hands.
They are too weak.

Why didn't councillors press Flintshire County Council to exclude lorries when we had our bypass built? I think a few councillors have sided with local lorry firms and Flintshire County Council over the interests of Penyffordd residents

It's time for our senior councillors to stand aside they have let the village down badly.
