Years ago we used to go to a golf club do. They left it to the last minute (August) to arrange entertainment, so we got the worst.
You go to your local pub get charged at the door and the place is full of people you don't see for 364 days of the year.
Taxis cost a mortgage.
So we are staying in. Everything under control.
Happy New Year !

So ends 2011
As far as Chester Rd is concerned (it's where I live)
1. Increased traffic levels to trunk road levels on occasions.
2. Token traffic policing.
3. Our rat run still hammers through every work day morning
as it has when I pointed this out to Penyffordd Cllrs five years ago
Presuming this stays as it is up to local elections in May.
Last election on a voting of 2000 approx the three county council contenders
were I seem to remember within 10 votes of one another.
Presuming the main three groups put forward a contender
What if I stand as a county councillor ? How does that alter the numbers?
Happy 2012 councillors !
ps. It must be said that both Labour and the Independents have betrayed Chester Rd and other main roads within the village used instead of the bypass.
Perhaps someone else will stand, it would make things even more interesting.
Or perhaps its all off if we get the Higher Kinnerton speed bumps treatment?

Penyffordd meanders into the new year
One of these in the garden this afternoon. I've lived here nearly 30 years and never seen one in the garden. I released one from a trap last year which is apparently against the law. You have to watch what your doing as they bite.
Traps should be made illegal they're barbaric.
I'm familiar with their lifestyles. Lots of other wild life such as robins and blackbirds are nasty when you get down to how they live.
If you want a little free entertainment buy a rubber robin and nail it to the top of a post in the garden with a view from the house. Then watch what happens when the local robin sees it. He'll knock five buckets of guano out of it.
On the allotment front it's tidy up time. Strawberry runners to be potted up.
I have a large box of vegetable seeds that are a few years old. I have a friend who planted out seeds that were ten years old. Many were successful.
I have ten old varieties of lettuce, we shall see.

Speed Cushions
Higher Kinnerton which has a similar issue (speeding /short cut traffic) but smaller volumes than Chester Rd is to have speed cushions along its main road. (presuming not too many objections)
Last week Chambers Lane, Mynydd Isa was advertised for similar.
Is Chester Rd, Penyffordd to get road cushions?
They have the data, they know what's happening.
Are we to carry on being a major support for local trunk roads?

Shopping List from PACA
Mr Sian Le Tissier presented Penyffordd Community Council with a wish list of facilities for local organisations.
1. Premises modification for Scouts / Cubs / Beavers and possibly Brownies.
2. A youth pitch for Penyffordd Junior Football Team. (one presumes a pitch without sheep grazing)
3. Penyffordd Senior Football Club would like some assistance for a wet room.
4. A skate park ( not near my house please)
5. BMX outdoor adventure area ( again not near my house please)
Mr Le Tissier's letter included realistic costings.
Copies of letter were sent to Flintshire Chief Planning officer and Chief Leisure Services Officer.
Penyffordd Community Council decided to support the above aspirations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Penyffordd District comment.
Sian Le Tissier's efforts are a breath of fresh air, he is to be congratulated over his efforts.
Penyffordd has many little play areas dotted around. How often are these areas used? I think very little.
Would it not have been better to have one large area and buildings that all the sports teams could use? From a social point of view people would mix more readily in one central area.
Why do I ( and any one else) have to drive to Padeswood to watch Penyffordd Senior's football?

Cllr Cindy Hinds spoke against the plans.

How Inflation affects Penyffordd
This is particularly good. A comment in The Telegraph
In_totidem_verbis
Inflation is heavily influenced by personal spending patterns. For example, if you are not one of those people who has to have the latest electrical gadget in your home, then you can remove this factor from your calculation. Therefore, it does not matter to you if such goods are not rising in line with inflation or, for that matter, actually becoming cheaper.
What really matters are the necessities in life, a roof over your head, food on the table, keeping warm and healthy, and the cost of travel to and from work. When you look at these essential factors in life, it is clear that some, if not all, are subject to large price rises and have been for some time.
Current methods of calculating inflation, particularly the ludicrous CPI unsurprisingly relied upon by this inept Government to suppress demands for wage increases, pay no heed to the question of priorities, essentially relying on a calculation that lumps together the cost of luxuries and necessities.
Finally, anyone using CPI as a measure of inflation is either an idiot or a politician, admittedly difficult to distinguish because the two are synonymous.

Then it starts to get lighter each day whilst getting colder.
British high streets are disappearing before our eyes
Runcorn has a 30% shop vacancy rate.
Local towns such as Mold and Buckley face an uphill struggle
as the raised taxes bite to pay for our government / bankers folly which
still remains largely hidden
Further a field the EU is on the edge of bankruptcy.
The simple life awaits in 2012.
Pastimes that attract little tax such as the allotment.

Penyffordd Community Councillors have no moral compass
On Wednesday 26th October a meeting was held to hand out £3200 to community groups in Penyffordd. Cllrs Tom Jones and Colin Bithell wished it to be recorded that they wished Penyffordd Wine Society which has been going for nigh on 30 years to be excluded, no reason offered.
Did any councillor or Chairman David Williams ask why? Not a peep.
I am particularly disappointed in Cllrs Linda Vidamour and Cindy Hinds remaining silent.

In Penyffordd it's raining. A window of opportunity this afternoon to walk the dogs. Gale force winds occasionally over the next week. I need to get my allotment prepared just like the new Penyffordd Allotments planned. As Cllr Tom Jones alluded to at last committee meeting. Spring will be upon us in no time. I have 25 blueberry plants on order. An acid soil home needs to be prepared for them. Raised beds with plenty of pine needles being the favourite option with sprinklings of ammonium sulphate to keep the soil pH to 4.5 - 5.5.

A Sign of the Times
This is a small sample of what is going on in the back ground whilst public sector workers strike. They really don't know what day it is. Who pays public service wages and pensions? The Private Sector.
What happens when the Private Sector can no longer pay?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescue founder Sheila Stewart blames ever-increasing economic pressures on families for the situation, which she claims is the most serious the 30-year-old centre has ever seen.
She said: “The position at the moment is just unbelievable. We are absolutely full to bursting and cannot possibly take any more animals in.
“In recent years, I have taken one or two calls a week from pet owners who are being evicted from their homes or having to move out due to money problems.
“Now I’m taking about three calls every single day. I think the impact of the economy is having a worse effect than ever before.
“So many jobs are being lost and businesses closing. People are hanging onto their pets for as long as possible but just can't cope with the cost any more.”

Carl Sargeant AM impressing
One of my bug bears is seeing traffic orders in local papers. They cost a fortune and a lot of people don't read papers. Carl Sargeant AM Welsh Transport Minister has launched a formal consultation to remove local council obligations with regards advertising in the dead tree press. (newspapers).
Ken Skates AM is in the article below. It should be pointed out that he is an ex Chief Reporter for The Leader.
While Carl's at it can the price of 20 mph compulsory zones be reduced and implemented.
This could be applied to Chester Rd to show WAG really didn't want it to return to trunk road status after the opening of A55 Warren Bank.
Question asked to Penyffordd Cllrs. " How many vehicles go through Chester Rd daily?" Answer: Go away we don't want to know !

Penyffordd's Child Guardian in The Flintshire Chronicle
Colin Bithell of Penyffordd Community Council had been calling for an investigation into the site for 10 years.
“I’m not satisfied with the outcome of it,” he said. “We also wanted assurances the health of young people in the village would be monitored for the next 10 years to see if there’s an increase in cancers. There are two primary schools practically underneath the plant.”
Link Flintshire Chronicle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
postscript: Colin has done his level best to ignore speeding through the middle of the village. When our youth get their bikes and scooters out in the summer Chester Rd is an accident waiting to happen.
He resorted to asking North Wales Police and Flintshire County Council to do something about me.
CBM Chris Pullen said I had a democratic right to protest over his and Penyffordd Communty Council's lack of action.
I presume legal eagle for Flintshire County Council Barry Davies said similar.

Penyffordd Councillors stick the boot in to Penyffordd Wine Circle
It would be fair to say that Penyffordd Wine Circle has diminished numbers for various reasons not related to the current financial climate. Each year Penyffordd Councillors dole our our money (rates) to communities and groups through out the village and further. This year they have in their infinite wisdom decided to give Penyffordd Wine Circle the grand some of £25. Whilst everyone else receives over a £100 pounds.
Cllrs Colin Bithell and Tom Jones had it minuted that they wish the Penyffordd Wine Circle to receive no further grants.
You would wonder why Penyffordd Wine Circle deserve such treatment. What have they done to Penyffordd Cllrs. Nothing.

Thank you Gosafe.
Thought things a little strange everyone was doing the speed limit.
Excepting those that had not been warned by other drivers.
ps, they hammer through the village every work day morning
as you well know you have the data.
There are some arrogant arses want nailing, they need a lesson or three.
There are of course Penyffordd councillors who are for the morning rat run being allowed to speed. You think me unfair. Why then does it continue after 5 years.
I'm surprised Cllr Linda Vidamour goes along with the speeding after 5 years.

How many unusual designed houses do we have in Flintshire?
Not many, this above would never get planning.
This house is so good.

Is Cllr Tom Jones retiring you might ask? you might be disappointed....
Tomorrow night on the agenda of Penyffordd Community Council is an item to discuss Penyffordd residents having more of a say in monthly meetings. Usually us the great unwashed are allowed to speak once a year.
You can of course write to the council. The normal Tom Jones sort of reply will be "contents noted", end of story.
I mention councillors who hide their email addresses from residents as an example
Also apparently Penyffordd Council agendas and meeting minutes are to go online
A bit of a move away from the Cllr Tom Jones method of ruling us wasters. Which is to treat us all like mushrooms.

I've lived in the village for nearly 30 years. Cement dust emissions have fallen drastically from a car windscreen unable to be seen through due to sun dried cement emissions to no dust emissions on the car wind screen at all.

Pontybodkin / Coed Talon has a gatso. There are no road deaths showing on the linked map.
Two deaths missing, one in Padeswood and one in Dobshill are after analysis was taken.

Butcher Steve Vaughan placed branded cabinet cards and a recipes book on the counter to help show customers how the meat, which included a saddle of lamb as the centrepiece, with stuffed shoulder and lamb rumps, should be cooked.
