As Grasshopper said to the Master in Kung Fu. Penyffordd used to be a fairly quiet place. Although I do remember it being hard to cross Hawarden Rd before the bypass. Chester Rd and Hawarden Rd are currently used as a race track by more than a minority.
Airbus of course are a major culprit with their employees racing through with illegal modified exhausts.
Currently Chester Rd gets nearly 3000 vehicles a day. I calculate at least a third speed.
After the credit crunch is over it will be 6/9000 vehicles a day with Warren Hall Business Park, Broughton Shopping Park extension and the new Warren Hall A55 exit.
The number of buses and lorries that drive through Chester Rd is considerable. You can see 4 buses in a minute some mornings. Flintshire County Council have shafted Penyffordd. They build a bypass then continue to use the old main road (Chester Rd) as an alternative trunk road.
Cllr Tom Jones and Cllr Colin Bithell can't see why I complain. They pat themselves on the back planting daffodils every where whilst letting traffic fly through the village endangering children and residents. Penyffordd Community Council should be pressing North Wales Police to do their job properly.
Penyffordd does have decent councillors but they are in short supply.
Cllr David Williams perhaps promised something being younger. I remember my first email to him. I said there was a lot of speeding traffic through the village. He wrote back saying he had loads of issues on his hands and no one had complained to him about speeding in Chester Rd.
Hardly an understanding county councillor. Then later on it turns out he had attended 3 out of 15 county council meetings.
The road by the Chemist looks nice to live is but a bit dear and none up for sale. Or perhaps somewhere out of the village. Yes! I hear them say.
So we shall see.
