An email to two Flintshire County Councillors over their efforts to control speeding traffic in their communities

An Email to Cllr Chris Jones of Sealand and Cllr Ann Minshull of Shotton. 

Morning Chris and Ann,

I see you two are still banging the drum over speeding in your communities in The Leader and The Chronicle. It's a bit different up here in Penyffordd.

There appears no respect for Penyffordd village environment whatsoever.

Our highspeed shortcut too important to Flintshire road infrastructure.

Are we over 4000 vehicles a day yet?

You can hammer through the village at whatever speed you want.

Our Cllrs back our CBM on not doing his job.

They also back the non attendance of Gosafe.

Can't be upsetting the speeders you know, its modern community policing.

We're alright for shortcut HGV traffic too. I think some cllrs are in the

pay of the local lorry firms.

We have half a rumble strip, this I think must be a first in Flintshire

unless Cllr Tony Sharps says different. The half a rumble strip allow cars to avoid

slowing down by going over side of the road. It also allows those who want a good start

from the middle of the village to hammer up the road.

The half rumble strip exemplifies council attitude to village safety.

Just look like you're doing something.

Communities in Northop Hall, Cheshire and tens of thousands

across UK are switched on about environment.

Sadly Penyffordd cllrs are not amongst them.

It's 4 years now cllrs since I was told speeding wasn't a cllr matter. ( no joke)

I hear my cllrs are talking to highway officers

The same officers who sat across from me in 2007 knowing full well nearly 2000 vehicles 

were breaking 30 mph each day.

You see we're a soft touch here

Our community council is rotten.

Our local wise man (aged 92) makes sure anyone with an attitude is kept off council.

Have a good day

Still over a 1000 speeders each day

( or get the equipment out and prove me wrong cllrs)
