Up S Creek
That's residents without wheels wanting to go to the doctors. Also from July council meeting.
Arriva (want /are going to) withdraw certain bus services
------------------------------------------------
77. Transport – Bus Routes Both Cllr Walker and the Clerk have written to Arriva Cymru regarding No.3 Bus Service, to date no response has been received. Cllr Walker again raised his concern regarding the Sunday bus service. The first direct bus route on a Sunday into Penyffordd is 8pm from Mold and 9pm from Chester. With regard to residents attending the Medical Centre, the Council discussed WBCT (Welsh Boarder Community Transport) and the fact that they extremely busy. The Council requested the Clerk to contact WBCT to clarify the eligibility criteria and display this information for residents. IT WAS RESOLVED the Clerk will liaise with WBCT for the eligibility criteria and advertise this service on the website and post office.

Open Council Meetings
79. Open Meeting/Public Questions Cllr Williams brought to the table the option of having either an Open Meeting or Public Questions. The Council discussed a number of various options. IT WAS RESOLVED the Council will consider these options and this item will be included on September’s Agenda.
----------------------------------------------
The above was in the July minutes. This indeed a good idea. Perhaps David, the council could go one step further and video meeting live and recorded on the council website. Instead of attending a two hour omnibus, one could sit in the comfort of one's own home sipping a glass of red. One could even fast forward to the more interesting bits.
A first for a Flintshire town or village council!
I should mention that currently anyone can attend a council meeting unless they are having a secret session. You are not allowed to speak or interrupt unless asked.

Penyffordd Councillor Mad Concepts
I was going to mention Penyffordd Council's final comments on Local Development Plan Pen041.
However the Penyffordd Community website is down.
Perhaps the silly background fir trees are being removed.....
I'll take a look later.
postscript
Its back up, fir trees are still there........................
This is the council's view (unratified I think) on Pen041
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
78. Single Site School
Following a meeting between Andy Roberts FCC with Cllrs Hinds and Williams it was established that Candidate Site PEN041 was actually incorrect and should not have 26 been put forward.
The Council discussed this error and identified it was a mistake by the Community Council in supporting PEN041.
The Council have now officially withdrawn their support. The Council still feel very strongly on a single site school and are in the process of arranging a mutually convenient date for a meeting between Ian Budd, Colin Everett, Andrew Farrow, Head Teacher and School Governor.
IT WAS RESOLVED i. The Council have no ambitions on any land in the village to do with the Millstone, no ambitions to take over the Caravan Park, no ambitions in putting a single site school on the allotments or any other properties within the PEN041 boundary line. ii. The date of the meeting regarding Single Site School was agreed to be either 2 nd or 9th September or if needed the Council will hold a Special Meeting.
Cllr Williams will confirm the date to the Council as soon as confirmation is received.

Penyffordd Crime Data
Minuted in the July meeting 2015 of Penyffordd Community Council.
81. Police Report As PCSO Mat Gordon was unable to attend the meeting he provided the following report to the Clerk.
81. Police Report As PCSO Mat Gordon was unable to attend the meeting he provided the following report to the Clerk.
20/6/2015 – ASB – verbal abuse given to a man after leaving the PYF carnival, turned out to be a long standing dispute. It is being dealt with.
21/06/2015 – ASB – Youths have thrown items at a window on Corwen Road.
27/06/2015 – Fire – Youths/Kids have been setting small fires in the grass near Emmanuel Church. Arson reduction team have been made aware and we are working toward an action plan, as there have been 3 similar incidents this month.
27/06/2015 – ASB – Park near Millstone, two younger children have been threatened by older children on the park.
27/06/2015 – ASB – Similar to above, kids using aerosol cans and lighters to set paper alight in the park.
06/07/2015 – ASB – Group of youths drinking alcohol near Towers Way.
06/07/2015 – ASB – Group of youths drinking alcohol near Towers Way.
08/07/2015 – Bike stolen from a shed on Hazel Drive
13/07/2015 – As you will be aware, 3 reports of damage to sheds on the allotments. Drug Paraphernalia has also been found near the benches which were moved in the area – I have spoken with youths from the youth club and they are adamant that this is older youths who do not attend the club. I have added the info to our officer briefing sheet which is viewed every shift by every officer prior to going out. Hopefully this will get a few more to pop in and have a look, but with staffing levels very low at present this may not be too likely as we’re all being pulled from pillar to post at the moment. As you can see there has been a rise in the ASB in the area, specifically in the area of the park. I’m going to speak to the inspector once I return from annual leave and will see if we can have a curfew put on the area. We do normally have a rise at this time of year due to schools finishing.
Friday Night Late
Politicians - They all seem like game show hosts to me..................................................
At the end you have a choice...
I like 7 days.

Royal Nostalgia
Leanne Uttley, of Penyffordd, a pupil at Castell Alun School in Hope, was there for her ‘once in a lifetime chance’ to see the Queen.
Read further.
Congratulations to New School Governor Steve Vaughan
I understand Steve has been made a school governor. Well done Steve.
You're not standing for Council next year are you? :)
I also understand Steve is in charge of Health and Safety.
If this is true Steve has the wind somewhat against him.
In my opinion councillors are not happy with the school governors
Penyffordd Councillors as a group are laissez faire over village safety with regards traffic.
Some local hostelry patrons also can't see why they can't hammer up or down Chester Rd.
Never mind the kids they'll jump out the way.
A previous councillor who was a school governor fought me for years ( seven) over traffic calming. Wouldn't look at the FCC speed figures for Chester Rd a major route to school. Or didn't want to.
Tried to get the county council lawyers on to me.
My opinion is that traffic calming should be made more vigorous. This morning I saw overtaking on the big speed bumps between 8.30 and 9.00am. (school time) Traffic regularly does 40 mph over the bumps.
Traffic needs stopping at the first bump, its just a matter of increasing bump profile
A tough call Steve, I see no help from Penyfforrd Cllrs at all.

Penyffordd Spar doing their bit
The group, which was team-led by store manager Guy Coleman from Spar Penyffordd, was split into three teams: one team dismantled disused riding centre equipment, one cleared a picnic area for visitors to the centre and the other installed a fence to keep the horses in.

The History of Penyffordd Tennis Club
It is good to see Penyffordd Tennis Club saving their history. I'm currently working on a questionaire to save a local history in another part of Flintshire because once this individual goes so does 80 years of history.

The country going mad.
"Email forwarded from Hawarden Council with a reply from SLCC advising the law in Wales now is the same as it used to be in England. Putting ‘prayers’ on the agenda of a Council Meeting and spending council time and money organising a religious event is now clearly unlawful in Wales."
exert from Penyffordd Community Council July meeting
Is this EU or UK led?

Tour of Britain Sunday Penyffordd Bypass 14.55 hours?
It's coming near Penyffordd. You may want to watch you may want to keep well out of the way. There will be plenty plenty traffic with temporary road blocks whilst riders go past.. It looks like its coming along Penyffordd Bypass, how it gets there from Buckley seems vague.
I'm sure it will be all sign posted.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you look at the above time table it suggests the A550 at 15.00 hours
The table says A5118. which would suggest Penymynydd roundabout turn right for bypass
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daily Post says
Flintshire
The riders are expected to reach the Flintshire border in Cadole at 2.30pm, travelling on the A5119 Ruthin Road into Mold with a sprint race finish on New Street near the Bethesda Chapel.
The race will then continue along New Street and then join the A541 Chester Road before taking the A549 Mold Road through Mynydd Isa into Buckley.
The race will continue through Buckley on the A549 on to Brook Street before taking the A550 on to Hope and leaving Flintshire on the A541 Wrexham Road at around 3pm.
There are numerous safe locations along the route to watch the race and large crowds are expected in Mold and Buckley and rolling road closures will be in operation along the route which may result in delays of approximately 15-20 minutes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the OS map who have something to do with the race. They want sacking. I'd do one on google maps but I'm not certain of the route.
I'm sure it will be all sign posted.
