Flintshire Road Fatalities An email to County Councillor Mike Peers

Hi Mike
You're concerned about road fatalities in Flintshire. You won't get any proper help from FCC and NWP because they are part of the cause.

Shall I offer my three penneth worth?............... I'm going to anyway.

1. N Wales. Each week end N Wales is used a race track by bikers and tourists in cars. What are NWP doing about it? Very little, just pretending. They are scared of the bikers and the Daily Post.

2. Flintshire. Each morning major roads are used as race tracks by rush hour traffic. Try the A5104 Pontblyddyn Penyffordd between 7 and 9. Lots of drivers coming dead fast around blind bends 3 foot over the white line. What are NWP and FCC doing about it ? Nothing.

2a There is NO traffic policing after 6 pm and 10 am the following morning. Youth can  hammer around until they crash. Cllr Sharps even suggested in The Leader that speeding after dark was ok. They published my protest letter.

3. Flintshire Highways are stuck in a mid 20th century time warp. They are not interested in speeding in Flintshire communities, unless we are taking Northop Hall.

4. Flintshire Highways staff lied to NWP officers over the amount of speeding traffic in Chester Rd., Penyffordd. They hid the data from me then told police it was 5% when it was really 34%. This was minuted at Penyffordd Community Council meeting.

5. Gosafe turn up at 10 am in the morning when the rat run rages between 7 and 9.
Amateurs? or doing what Penyffordd cllrs want.

6. Gosafe / FCC have persistently denied me April 2007 traffic data for Chester Rd. FOIE's mean nothing to them.

The number of speeders each day through the village at that time was about 2000 a day. Of course Penyffordd cllrs are gagging to look at the data not !

7. County Councillors Cindy Hinds and David Williams know speeding goes on
and do nothing.

8. Carl Sargeant AM Minister for Roads knows speeding goes on he will do nothing.

9. Mark Tami MP  knows speeding goes on he will do nothing.
10. Neal Cockerton  knows speeding goes on he will do nothing.
11. Cllr Arnold Woolley  knows speeding goes on he will do nothing.
12. Cllr Tony Sharps  Head of Roads knows speeding goes on he will do nothing.
13. Carl Longland Director of Environment  knows speeding goes on he will do nothing.

14. Future Flintshire 20 mph zones for communities have very high qualification bars.

Most of the above is about Penyffordd but it happens in lots of places in Flintshire.

The controlling Flintshire group walking the walk but not talking the talk.

Wrexham has loads of controlled speed  areas. Flintshire back the speeders.

What will happen? nothing. Lots of you should be out of a job.
But you won't the electorate are too stupid

NWP are reduced to controlling the traffic at fatal accidents , writing reports, dealing with grieving relatives. Stable door policy. As effective as eunuchs at an orgy.

 Do Flintshire Highways still have the practice of needing three fatalities in one place before they will do anything?

Flintshire Highways need tearing apart it's full of Jeremy Clarksons.

So have you got that?  It's the fault of FCC, NWP, NWPA, our elected representatives and loads of idiots who shouldn't have a license.

What will happen? Nothing. We just have pretend politicians in Flintshire. 

best wishes Colin
