Dear John

An email to John Bell Welsh Conservative candidate for Alyn and Deeside

Morning John,
Just having a look at you're election priorities on your literature.

Lets have a look at the present situation from my point of view.

I live in the village of Penyffordd on Chester Rd. We have just been stuffed by WAG and FCC with regards the new "improved" transport links at A55 Warren Bank. Lots of extra traffic now use Penyffordd village as a speedy short cut instead of using the bypass which is not fit for purpose. Speed is guaranteed on our major route to school as Penyffordd cllrs have sided with North Wales Police to do nothing.

Since you've been in politics quite a long time do you not consider it bizarre that a council will side with NWP over child safety and environment of Chester Rd Penyffordd? Its' not a recent phenomena its being going on now for over 4 years. The speeding traffic used to be near 2000  a day our councillors have been advised not to look at the data FCC have though.

Watching school kids play on our main road yesterday afternoon whilst traffic hammers through the village raises hairs on the back of my neck. There was a grandad trying to catch his little boy who thinks jumping out onto the road part of the game. At one stage there were 8 children on the road. " supervision" was a 100 yds away talking. I'd have taken a picture but you get dragged over the coals here for doing that, you get a visit from our CBM. It's ok for them to get run over but don't take picture. We're pretty bizarre up here John.

I don't think Carl Sargeant should come to Penyffordd after not standing up for the village over Warren Bank. That's just my point of view, I don't take the sheep line.

Why is our village used as an HGV short cut when we have a bypass? Has Tom Jones a hand in this arrangement or is it just plain incompetence or FCC refusing to budge?

Further afield but still law and order

1. Why are young people and bikers allowed to flagrantly break the law with regards noisy exhausts?
2. Why are bikers allowed to use N Wales as a noisy race track endangering our lives?
3. Why are lorries and cars allowed to tail gait law abiding citizens with impunity?
4. Why are non sentences handed out to those who kill people with vehicles. ( Flintshire cpl court case last week, he was doing 60 mph when he hit them on the M56, couldn't see them, why was he doing 60 then?)

Will the Conservative party do anything to improve that discussed above, I think not.

ps Is it not time for Tom Jones to stand down? He is too old and has no interest in Chester Rd.
He calls me a "running sore" I think the fact he allows our village to be a rat run a disgrace, completely out of touch. ( Oh forgot he's not a Conservative, sorry)

wanting to live in a village not a speedy short cut, my vision unfortunately not shared by Penyffordd cllrs.
