Unofficial - A Personal View

I am being watched by
someone from Leeds area. Barry Davies ( Head of Legal FCC) must have asked someone from outside Flintshire County Council. As mentioned Penyffordd Community Council have complained I think about three times to Flintshire County Council over comments I have made about their conduct including lack of action on speeding in Chester Rd.
I have to remention that allowing 10 "Independents" candidates to stand on one election sheet is not good for local democracy. No having to do publishing your own election literature or delivering it or paying for it. It costs at least £80 to do the election literature and that price includes free desk top publishing. Last election local councillors stood who should have been long and gone years ago.
One councillor who shall remain nameless brought up what he considered a new suggestion that had been discussed at the previous three meeting. Perhaps he was on the wrong tablets that day ..........

1000+ speeders every day through the village councillors.

Batten down the hatches
I bought a 12 foot polytunnel off Ebay and half put it up yesterday, not good timing. I have perhaps an hour or two to bury the base with soil before the weather turns.
Otherwise it will end up on the Institute field.
Postscript: looks like South Coast will bear the brunt
Otherwise it will end up on the Institute field.
Today:
Areas of heavy rain will move east ( to Wales) this morning, accompanied by severe south or southwest gales. Gusts of 60 to 70 mph, perhaps reaching 80 mph or more over high ground and exposed coasts. Becoming dry this afternoon, wind easing. Maximum temperature 12 °CPostscript: looks like South Coast will bear the brunt

Rigging postal voting in local elections
If you are a new candidate trying to get elected postal voting works against you.
Established politicians will have lists of grandads and grandmums who can't get out.
No need to ferry them down to the polling booth these days.
What better way to get votes than to get them to sign up for a postal vote. Just put your crosses there Mrs Edwards in those boxes there, yes that's fine, we will do the rest...........................
My report to Local Government Minister Brian Gibbons will discuss the above

Difficult to detect but you could start by visiting the oldest after the election and ask them to describe how they came to use the postal vote and who helped them. I'm sure a pattern would develop.

Penyffordd Land Grab
First we had the fields bought to put stables on in Terrace Lane. (planning application now withdrawn)
The Terrace lane fields are fenced off so walking dogs on the field is now impossible.
Then we have had land sold at auction owned by Bank Farm which includes a field next to the swings which is used by Penyffordd people as common land. The unofficial common land next to the Station House that has also been used for decades now also sold.

I am being Investigated
Penyffordd Community Council have made complaints about allegations I have made with regards local election sheets. I am talking about the list of 10 which allows cronies and deadwood to stand for local election on one sheet without any effort, blocking new blood from getting on the council.
Mr Barry Davies Head of Legal and Democratic Services Flintshire County Council has assigned an officer to investigate allegations I have made against various organisations.
Shall we form a list?
1. Arrive Alive (All Wales Safety Partnership) not doing their job. (speeding in village)
Also they hide traffic speed data from the community.
2. North Wales Police not stopping the serial mass speeding.
3. Penyffordd Community Council disregarding village safety.
4. Flintshire County Council trying to stitch the village up with a second trunk road ( Chester Rd)
There is a WAG consultation going on to improve local democracy and to give them more powers. I have already sent in my recommendations on what needs changing.
I will be writing a further email to WAG Local Government Minister Dr Brian Gibbons who has initiated the consultancy. Barry Davies will be on the cc list.

Our MP Mark Tami supports Chester Rd Election Manifesto
Our Manifesto.
1. The banning of HGV's to the bypass.
2. A 20 mph zone for the village centre.
3. A road calming system that makes it impossible for traffic to speed.
Ken Skates emails saying "Mark said he supports all three manifesto points. They would be a huge help in making Penyffordd a safer, better village."

Bulls, cows, calves and walking in fields with dogs.
We have two bull terriers who would just love to chase bulls around the fields where we walk. The chance of a lethal kick in the head or body by a bull or cow does not seem to deter in the slightest, it's in the genes.
Earlier this year we had two stand off's with young bulls on bridle paths. The dogs keen to engage, us keen to retreat.
We have modified our walks on two occasions. Yesterday we met Morton who farms sheep and cows on fields where we walk. He said that he hadn't seen us for ages. I said that's due to the cows and calves blocking our way on the footpaths.
Because farmers earn little money these days items like fencing and gates tend not to be replaced, they are old and delapidated. Gates which have a couple of dozen bulls behind standing up with use of wire strands. There have been at least two deaths and one near miss in Brynau in the last century usually with calves and cows present in fields. Walking with dogs in fields with cows and calves should be avoided at all costs.
Most of the fencing where we walk needs replacing. I had an idea bulls could jump but not 5 foot fences. Another farmer fatally wounded in The Post. That's about 5 people killed in UK this year.
Sheep will also stand their ground especially with lambs around. I've been waiting for one to headbutt the dog. Trolly would not feel a thing.............................
*Trolly is never let off the lead.

Winning the Lottery
is a life changing event and not everything positive. The instant the news is released your relationship with all your family, relatives, friends and workmates alters forever. If you give some of your money to relatives there will be others who feel they should have some. Where do you stop?
Then there are the begging letters and phonecalls. Long lost friends appearing out of the woodwork. Every new aquaintance you meet needing to be given scrutiny.
There is the worry of where to invest the newly won fortune. Will criminals find out where you live?
The sharks advising on all sorts of ways to "invest" your money.
Lisa thinks £45 million is a little much for a couple.
Anonymity saves an awful lot of bother.
Too late for these these.
Do you give up work or carry on?
Not working and loosing your work mates does not suit everyone.
The mental and emotional baggage may start to build...........................

An open letter to Chief Constable Mark Polin hopefully through The Leader letter page
Dear Chief Constable,
I read in The Leader of the "Balance your Bobby" initiative.
As far as Chester Rd, Penyffordd is concerned Neigbourhood Forums and the Policing Pledge have been a gross failure. Speeding is wholesale and I am ignored totally by North Wales Police. I am banned from their Police Forum and the NWP website ignores speeding in Penyffordd.
Hardly a listening caring constabulary. Death by speeding seems to have become an acceptable risk for Penyffordd children.

To be fair you were not in charge of NWP whilst the above has carried on these last two years. The question is are you going to allow this charade to continue?
Myself and residents of Chester Rd want answers. It might also be a pertinent time to ask why Penyffordd councillors
