Penyfford Youth Club - A Plea from Cllr David Williams
Save our Youth club and Old School!
Email: David Williams dwillderw@yahoo.co.uk
We do not know what Flintshire County Council have in mind for the building so we need to keep pressure on to make sure that it is not lost. There is an open evening on Tuesday 28th November at 7-00, for ex pupils and former youth club members to have a look around and share memories and old photos. Anybody interested in the building or preserving one of the few heritage features of the village are also welcome to attend. Please contact David Williams if you need any further information.

Wrexham Maelor Hospital Map PDF
I have an appointment this week. I am familiar with the hospital but I am going to an outpatient dept of which I am unfamiliar. I'll do a google to find a hospital map.
20 minutes later... zilch.
I am familiar with google search I use it most days.
I'll email them to ask for a map location of the net.........
Another brick wall with email address.
Anyway here it is.
http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/documents/861/Wrexham%20hospital%20map.pdf
postscript: Map is not dated but it is old. A department I know exists is called something else. Best get confirmation on the way in.
Parking the car an eternal problem. How much time do you allow for parking? How long is a piece of string? I have 3 favoured areas, one normal, one on mud near signs saying do not park and another one on mud around the corner.

Vounog Hill Development Update
Copied from Facebook
Vounog Hill Development Update
Yesterday we met with Strutt & Parker land agents, who are representing the landowner of the fields on Vounog Hill.
It was speculated in social media a couple of weeks ago that surveyors were on the land between Meadowslea and Vounog Hill. Following the meeting we can confirm that plans have been drawn up for 37 homes and the planning application is expected to be published for pre-planning consultation later this month.
In this case the people we met with, and the landowner by implication, appear very community focussed and reasonable. They are aware of the Redrow and other applications and the objections from the community. They admitted that they fearful of ‘missing the boat’ if they wait for the full LDP process (the site has been submitted to Flintshire as a potential LDP candidate site now).
They are looking at a continuation of the line of the Meadowslea houses, connecting them to the road but no further down the hill (see map).
They are aware that we have objected, on principle, to any planning applications that come ahead of the LDP process, irrespective of their content, as set out in the Penyffordd Place Plan (if you haven't signed up to it yet please do it now, we just need your name and address - email team@penyfforddcommunity.org).
In spite of our position, they are keen to ensure that the development, if built, fits in with the community and causes the least harm. We discussed the proposal in detail and they listened to our concerns for neighbouring residents and the needs of the wider village.
As soon as the proposal plans come through with the detail, we will make sure they are shared and we can provide detailed feedback.

Idiot News
http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/local-news/live-crash-a550-flintshire-blocked-13876741
I'm sure it says somewhere in the Highway Code about allowing distance to stop should the car in front stop.

Hanson Cement Proposals
http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/new-cement-mill-could-secure-13866126
The old equipment is not being replaced. They are to be mothballed. Main concerns should be about what comes out the chimney from the industrial waste that is burned.
Plastic, oil, paint, brake fluid, rubber tyres etc.

Penyffordd Railway Bridge height wrong
Sign for bridge shows 4.1m - 13 ft. When in fact the correct conversion is 13.5 ft. So lorry drivers think the bridge is 6 " higher.
FCC must have known this forever.
