Wheely bins for everyone
Flintshire moves to a fortnightly rubbish collection for non-food. This is the start of the squeeze to make you throw away less rubbish. This will prove a big issue for a lot, will fly tipping increase.
For the last 6 months I have been going through stuff "that might come in handy" from the last 25 years. It's amazing (sorry I mean embarrassing) what I have collected.
2 electric tile cutters
5 sets of tree loppers
1 large car gearbox
3 circular saw tables ( you may think why)
5 rakes
4 electric drils
5 battery drills
4 shovels
4 forks
screws, bolts and nuts by the 1000.
Over a ton of wood offcuts (for the wood fire)
Steel and old electrical tools down to the skip, precious metals down to Chadwicks Sandycroft. Last trip to Chadwicks brought in £70 for aluminium scrap.
And of course stuff off loaded on the ubiquitous Ebay
The above measures by FCC have to be taken due to EU directives.
Quote "Cllr Tony Sharps said: “Now we are going one step forward and making the service cleaner, more hygienic and better for the customer .
“Let’s catch up with Coronation Street, they’ve had wheelie bins for 20 years.”

Bid to boost tourism in N Wales which includes vandalism
I am not the only one who wonders why we need more tourists. Have you ever seen the A55 on a Friday afternoon and Saturday morning? There is near grid lock. Bikers using the roads as a race track. Local find tourists a pain.
Recommendation includes vandalising Colwyn Bay Pier. Lets hope the locals put a stop to this. Further reading of article leads me to think consultants are talking moonshine.
Work takes us down the coast. We prefer N Wales away from school holidays and weekends.

Who says there is not a god
"WAG also failed to convince that the potential harm to wildlife of killing 2,000 badgers outweighed the potential benefits – an estimated 0.3% drop in the annual rate of herd breakdowns."
Well done the law lords.

Alison is not happy, then she is.
Council Capers June 2010. The Ombudman plays unfair. Now it's Patrick Heesom's turn.
Alison however is very happy over Canton and the direction the new head of housing is taking.

FCC Traffic Calming Policy
Purpose of policy.
To reduce road casualties and minimise the adverse effects (environment) of motorised traffic by the introduction of traffic calming techiques.
There is a points system to work out a method of qualification. My thanks to Cindy for giving me a copy.

Flintshire crime figures are down ( In the Leader not online yet))
Burglary figures are down. Everyone is patting themselves on the back. Is the lowering of crime figures down to North Wales Police or some other influence? We are in the middle (start?) of the greatest pull back in consumer spending ie the credit crunch. Are they claiming credit for something not of their making? Have patrols increased in Flintshire? I think not. Are NWP getting smarter?

Quote of the day
Good old Mandy.
In an interview with The Times*, Lord Mandelson also rejected criticism that he is too fond of the high life for associating with people with money, such as the Rothschild family and Oleg Deripaska, the Russian billionaire.
He said: “Do you know what I say to that? Good for me. I mean, I’m not going to be governed by Labour Party political correctness about who I should meet or talk to or where I should spend my time.
“Look, I’m interested not in people’s names but who and what they are. I’m not governed by how famous people are but by how interesting they are. For me it’s the interesting life.”
*The Times is now behind a paywall.

Power to the people
Prime Minister David Cameron is talking of giving power back to the people. I am starting to warm to this man. Perhaps all the hammering traffic we get each day can be stopped. Penyffordd needs a revolution with regards policing and councillors if they continue to ignore safety and environmental considerations of Chester Rd.

Something very sad
There's a story in the papers today. Some one has hung himself. A friend of mine could hear his wife shrieking from his garden as she ran into the main road distraught after discovering the deed. I am familiar with the family.
I have played golf with the departer of this world. I was a member of the gym with his distraught wife. She and children did not deserve this. How selfish.
Perhaps credit crunch easy money required to be repaid immediately, huge loss of face in his community . We will see
Wife did not deserve this and may not recover.

Penyffordd Community Council meeting tonight
So are PCC backing Chester Rd for traffic policing or siding with North Wales Police not to traffic police Chester Rd?
Putting village residents lives in danger on a major route to school.
