Airbus Corporate Environment Statement

The environmental concerns of Chester Rd Penyffordd appear to have been over looked. We are daily bombarded with 100's of speeding workers with illegal exhausts from the Airbus factory at Broughton.

North Wales Police to use racing bikes in covert operations
NORTH Wales Police will this week take delivery of four super-powered racing bikes for use in covert operations, the Daily Post can reveal.
At that means police officers on unmarked high performance motorbikes will start patrolling North Wales on the look out for speeding and illegal bikers.
Some idiot recommends education instead. Speeding on motorcycles and in cars went passed the education stage quite a few years ago. Points and or no vehicle is the only way people understand.

New Traffic Calming Measures for Chester Rd
Old Whitewell Farm Bed and Breakfast
Old Whitewell Farm is a small B&B guesthouse with three rooms, all on the ground floor so are accessible to disabled people. The rooms are all ensuite and have TV, tea and coffee making facilities, full central heating and a separate entrance for independence of guests.
There is ample off road parking, and we are only 5 minutes from the A55 trunk road. We are situated on Bannel Lane and are surrounded by open countryside. This is ideal for walking and cycling and there is a golf driving range across the road.
We are about 2 miles from Padeswood Golf Club; a few hundred yards from the lovely church of St John the Baptist, Penymynydd Woods and about half a mile from Buckley Station on the Wrexham/Bidston Line.
The market town of Mold is within easy access as is the historical village of Hawarden and Broughton with its large retail shopping park.

Head Butt Harry the Blue Tit
Here's Harry the Blue Tit recovering from flying into my green house window. Two of the young family have managed to do this today. The offending door has now been left open.
Happy Birthday
Have experienced most of life's pleasures that I have wished to sample.
I am happy and content........................ except for 2000 cars
that speed passed the house daily.
I daily make more arrangements to insulate me from this mad world.
Triple glazing etc
Since energy is getting dear I am working on big insulation.
The house has solid walls.
How many more years do I fight this madness?
May be 4 or 5 years. At least passed the next local election
Half the village must dislike me, this matters little because
I have never mixed with them anyway.
How can people not like you because you try to make their village centre better.
A fair proportion of Penyffordd people are highly selfish. They live in cul de sacs
and couldn't give two stuffs for us on the main road.
Rhuthin looks quite attractive if we remain a race track.

Penyffordd Community Council 2008
Newly elected Cllr Jane Hopwood gained from the Cllr Tom Jones block vote. Perhaps I am being a little hard on her. Getting in with the block vote has responsibilities to Cllr Tom Jones.
Otherwise Jane might have sent me an email. Has promise perhaps if free from the clutches of The Godfather. Jane says she will do her best to serve the community. This of course excludes talking about 2000 speeding cars through Chester Rd Penyffordd. As Cllrs Tom Jones and Colin Bithell say "It just isn't so and we do not want to know the answer anyway"
Cllr Linda Vidamour. I think Linda is on the Cllr Tom Jones block vote. Linda is good for the village. We need more Linda's and Cindy's.
If Cllr Tom Jones won't do his job properly as head of the village he should retire.
Penyffordd Community Council 2008
Cllr Margaret Jones is in Cllr Tom Jones' (no relation) block vote. Margaret brings votes to the block from various clubs as seen above.
Cllr Tom Jones OBE is "The Godfather". Tom fixes all the elections. By fixing I mean he organises the block vote. Tom says he derives great pleasure from serving the community. Tom's pleasure doesn't extend to 2000 vehicles tearing through the village or stopping the deluge of vehicles heading our way post Warren Hall exit A55, Warren Hall Business Park or Broughton Park Extension.

Click to enlargeCllr Stan Davies has 90 mph traffic passed his house that is set back off the road. He happens to live on the trunk road with a 60 mph limit. Stan's photo reminds me of the Great Train Robbers. Stan is part of the Cllr Tom Jones block vote. Stan is married to Edwina and they have a daughter called Sally.

Penyffordd Community Council 2008
Cllr Edwina Davies is Lady Captain of Padeswood and Buckley Golf Club 2008. Edwina stood out on what was perhaps the wettest, coldest day of the year whilst CBM Chris Pullen tried to educate our speeding public. Part of Tom Jones' block vote?
Joe Davies (no relation) failed to get elected. Perhaps the Cllr Tom Jones block vote was moved to Cllr Jane Hopwood?
Penyffordd Community Council 2008
Cllr Joe Bell has been elected Chairman of Penyffordd County Council
Cllr Joe Bell is not a well man, Cllr Tom Jones needs to get him to change the tablets. Cllr Colin Bithell refuses after 15 months to take the speeding traffic in Penyffordd seriously. He says the Penyffordd Community Council has done all it can. In spirit they have been dragged along by the scruff of the neck after a polite letter from myself about the speeding received the "Its nothing to do with us" phone call from the Clerk to the Penyffordd Community Council Nigel Jones.

An email from Cllr David Williams to my wife Lisa who he savaged at Penyffordd Community Council meeting May 2008
cc Cllr Arnold Woolley Flintshire County Council Leader by Colin Hughes
cc. Cllr Jane Hopwood via The Evening Leader
The wording in blue is my response to David .... Colin Hughes
Hello Lisa,
With regards to the nine e.mails that you and Colin have sent me over the last four days I respond as follows.
The only one of any value was the one where you referred to my comments at the Community Council meeting regarding the sign at the top of the
The emails from me to which Cllr David Williams was emailed or CC'd to.
1. An email thanking David for setting up the proposed traffic survey form.
2. An email about a speeding HGV to CBM Chris Pullen cc'd
3. An email about methods of measuring our speeding traffic CC'd so that our councillors can see HOW BAD the traffic is.
4. An email about being called a liar in Penyffordd Community Council at which David was most unkind and aggressive to my wife who is a resident of Penyffordd. His staring at Lisa was most aggressive.
5. An email to David who mentioned getting a website for £400 for the village. I volunteered to do one for FREE and take 30 mins to show how to use with unlimited technical backup for FREE,
I have therefore written to Dave Faulkner again to see what can be done, and entered below the text of the letter I have sent. Had you approached me in a civilised manner and asked me to see what he could do regarding new signs in the suggested position, I would willingly have done so a lot earlier. This issue has been on going since last November (7 months) with you ignoring the issue David.
Unfortunately you bombard me and other councillors with insults and unconstructive waffle.
See above email subjects.
Before the election Colin implied that he hoped some harm would come to me so that I would not win the election, and that is why I ceased communicating with you.
I implied no such thing its what you read into it.
It would I think be fair to say if I stopped talking about 2000 cars that speed passed my house that is a major route to school you and half the Penyffordd Community Council would be very happy.
The only reason I have looked at your recent e.mails was in the hope that you may have started to see sense following comments at the Community Council meeting.
A trashing of myself and my wife because we continue to point out the major problems to our Penyffordd Councillors is a democratic right. Its 2000 speeding cars a day councillors!
I should have known better! You are obviously too arrogant and ignorant and everybody is clearly wrong other than you two. You have even seen fit to start on the new member of the Council for no real reason! I have criticised Jane Hopwood because she takes the council line just like a sheep. I thought Jane was an Independent.
Your unreliable and unfounded claims (The Penyffordd Community chairman said 2000 cars an hour last Wednesday lol) Its 2000 vehicles speeding a day David, the figure is not unreliable its near fact, in fact it may be 2200 by now) were brought to the fore again following your attempt to have me disciplined as a result of your incorrect claim that I had only attended three meetings in my first year. Again you were wrong and Mr Evans quite rightly informed you that ‘there is more to being a councillor than attending meetings’.
We were informed by a member of Flintshire County Council that a County Cllr had to attend four out of twelve meetings and that if a cllr did not attend that many, action would be taken.
The large number of residents that I have assisted during my first year as a Councillor will support that statement! We still have 2000 speeding cars that are a constant danger to Penyffordd children. One nearly got knocked down in Watts Rd recently.
I have no desire to have any ill feelings between us and will work tirelessly to help all members of our community, including you, with whatever issues they may have. Unfortunately you have opted to continually abuse and insult me, my family and other Councillors, and only on very rare occasions have made requests that I could do anything about.
2000 speeding cars a day David through the middle of our village, 15 months on.
On the few occasions you have given me something realistic to do, I have responded immediately! You obviously have nothing useful to offer this village and will undoubtedly continue to harm the attempts to improve the traffic and speeding problem that we have in all areas of the village.
I do not have to offer anything to the village when I point out we have 2000 speeding cars a day.
It is for this reason therefore, that unless I am made aware that your methods are going to change and you are starting to work with the community rather than against us, I no longer intend opening any more of your e.mails.
I would have thought that part of your function to Penyffordd residents is to answer emails where required, some emails are for your continued education such as the device for measuring speeding traffic that nearly everyone tries to think doesn't exist.
If I point out we still have 2000 cars every day speeding passed my house which is a major route to school I think myself and other villagers require that you get onto the job like Cllr Tony Sharps of Northop Hall has done. You can only do 20 mph passed Tony's house but 70 mph passed mine.
Cllr David Williams.
(I do not expect this to go on your blog because some of the comments show what you are really like!)
There you are David!
