Time to back off?

Surprise ! A letter in The Flintshire Chronicle and one in The Leader. Both a little edited but who cares. When I decided enough was enough, there were in the region of 2000 vehicles breaking 30 mph each day back in 2007. A polite letter to the Penyffordd Community Council about speeding was rebuffed with a " nothing to do with us" phone call from Nigel the clerk. (nothing to do with Nigel who is a nice man, he is just the messenger for the council)

Since then there has been past a certain point an ignoring of the issue, even siding with North Wales Police over the interests of Chester Rd residents, Penyffordd School children and OAP's who have to cross our road.

I have been told that Cllrs Cindy Hinds and David Williams are talking to Flintshire Highways over methods to slow traffic down. This is good news for myself and Chester Rd. (also Penyffordd children and pensioners, we have the Penyffordd Post Office here one of the few shops left)

It is hoped North Wales Police will back any moves to slow down traffic speeding through our community. There are lessons to be learned here. As I stated in my letter we are not all thick.
Gosafe also need to start working with communities instead of hiding speed traffic data

Letter No 1 edited http://penyffordd-district.blogspot.com/2011/02/traitors-on-council.html

Letter No 2 Written because WAG know what is happening in Penyffordd. They built A55 Warren Bank exits with no thought for Penyffordd increased traffic levels.



Dear Leader
A letter for consideration
On Thursday 3rd March 2011 the Welsh Assembly Government are asking you to vote in a referendum for greater powers. In the near future the WAG are going to carry out a cull of badgers in Wales. This is your chance to tell the politicians what you think of them. Vote NO on Thursday against greater powers or don't bother voting. Show the politicians that Welsh people care for wild life.

Thank you Flintshire Chronicle and Leader

At the moment we in Chester Rd and other Penyffordd roads are a very convenient speedy short cut to and from Broughton, Chester and the north of England and Scotland. In my opinion it should be made unattractive as a short cut. We do after all have a bypass.
