Lisa's Kitchen chicken and peppers

Penyffordd District comment
With regards the elderly couple killed by a young racer outside Mold. North Wales Police and the North Wales Police should take some responsibility for having a skeleton traffic division. Penyffordd has racers through the village everyday. At night the roads are left to youth hurling around with no enforcement in sight.
Boy racer gets 6 years for deaths.
We get them past here every day.
Further proof that policing is out of control.
Should North Wales Police Authority have been in the dock as well?
They stood by whilst Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom decimated the traffic division.
When are you going to do something about it Chief Superintendent Ruth Purdie?
The 1000+ speeders every day ignored by yourself.

Are The Police out of control?
Last week a mother killed herself and a child after years of bullying. Then we have a mother having her house broken into and being assaulted. The police will not turn up because they say they may inflame the situation.
Much further down the list we have un policed roads in Penyffordd. Still capable of causing death though.
Neighbourhood forum's a waste of time.
The police are failing us so are
those who are paid to regulate the police.

Secret Meetings?
Penyffordd councillors had a secret meeting with Charles Hughes Head of Engineering and Derek Kirby Head of Highways Strategy over Warren Hall developments.
Was the meeting minuted?
Was the meeting discussed at monthly community council and minuted?
If not why not?
Have Penyffordd councillors capitulated?
Warren Hall will affect Chester Rd, Wrexham Rd and Corwen road with increased traffic levels.
Postscript. Cllr Cindy Hinds informs me she has made representations to Shire Hall with regards Warren Hall developments.

The consequences of Warren Hall development by Mike Brain

Comments
At last Broughton has woken up and protested. this is my opinion back in 2005 SAY NO to the planning application for Warren Hall Business Park., being held on 27th July 2005. I am a resident of Higher Kinnerton who has recently attended a meeting on 22nd July 2005 at the Unit 7 WDA offices in St Asaph, chaired by Mark Tami MP, included Carl Sargeant AM , and Chris Farrow , and another colleague from the WDA. My great concern, supported by most of the residents of Higher Kinnerton, Penymynydd and Penyffordd, is the HUGE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC expected. Also raised was the buried carcass of animals that had foot & mouth, the location of which is directly under the proposed Hotel. This meeting heard the objections re-iterated and the replies by WDA, who welcomed our opinions and advice. If, as it is likely, that many of the proposed 5000+ jobs could be women on a part-time basis, this further increases the traffic! It has already been reported that FCC will have a budget shortfall & intend to make job cuts, and this means any requests by local Community Councils for Match Funding for Traffic Schemes will be declined, just when they will be needed most, to combat ‘rat runs’! See below my earlier objections. I have learned from Chris Farrow that he will be part of a new Welsh Assembly Committee with similar powers, but more accountability to taxpayers –see my reason number 3. Since my objection item 6, there has been flooding at BAe and Broughton Retail Park. Re: Planning Application 038744 Warren Hall Business Park Class B1. I object to the above having seen the WDA exhibition in our Village Hall and listened to the concerns of other residents. My main reasons are:- 1. The application should not be considered until FCC has published its Unitary Development Plan. 2. The scheme is too large and will generate major traffic problems for our village and it’s currently easy access to the A5104 and A55. 3. The WDA are a failed QUANGO due to be abolished soon, long before the proposed scheme would start, leaving the locals with an unwanted development that would provide jobs for mostly outsiders. 4. The B1 category has the potential to change this mainly residential & agricultural area into an Industrial Zone. 5. The existing plan is a ‘re-hash’ of earlier ones from 17 years ago, and would contribute to ‘urban sprawl’, breaking the planning guidelines and our ‘Green Barrier’. 6. This application gives me no confidence that it’s ‘promises’ will be kept relating to ‘leisure facilities’, that there is a potential for water ‘run-off’ increasing the risk of flooding.

Bad news for Chester Rd Penyffordd
Work has started on the A55 Warren Bank Interchange at Broughton. This will have an enormous effect on traffic through Penyffordd unless through traffic is banned. Traffic coming from the North of England travelling to Mid Wales will get off the A55 at Warren Bank instead of Dobshill and take a short cut through the village also on the way back home. This will add 1000's of vehicles each week. This news is very bad for Chester Rd.

Alienating People
Why do I do it? I think its called frustration.
There is no real interest shown after nearly three years of pushing.
So far I have alienated.
1. Cllr Cindy Hinds and so most probably Carl Sargeant AM and Mark Tami MP
2. Cllr David Williams
3. Penyffordd Community Council
4. Arrive Alive
5. North Wales Police
5. North Wales Police Authority.
6. Flintshire County Council.
How do you get the above agencies and people to see there is an issue? I went through Pontblyddyn the other day the Arrive Alive van is there regular. Why isn't the van in Chester Rd?
Only former Inpector Alun Oldfield ( now with CID ) has ever invited me to a site meeting. If I went away tomorrow or stopped complaining about traffic little would get done. postscript Arrive Alive have also invited me to a site meeting in the past.
Penyffordd councillors have little interest in environment. It's nearly three years since I started campaigning after Penyffordd Council said " nothing to do with them"
They have little concern whatsoever for village safety and environment.
Being nice to people doesn't work.
So does alienation work? Not sure......
Living on a road that has over a 1000 speeders daily is not fun.
It used to be near 2000.
If elected people will not fix it I intend to be a pain "ad infinitum".
Rossett village is the model, Flintshire County Council I feel wish to retain Chester Rd an ex trunk road as a de facto trunk road. So lies the problem.....

Cllr Cindy Hinds in The Leader
pontificating in traffic issues in Shotton.
Link The Leader
My comments which are at the bottom of the article.
Whilst sympathising with the predicament of the Shotton gridlock I and other Chester Rd, Penyffordd residents would wish to see Cllr Cindy Hinds getting involved a little nearer home with our morning rat run and constant speeding. Cllr Cindy Hinds has been in the job for over two years now and has so far failed to address Chester Rd residents concerns. We are a major route to school. North Wales Police should be pressed into honouring their commitments to communities.
Postscript. The Labour Party should refrain from getting Cindy to quote on traffic issues until she has fixed Chester Rd Penyffordd. The exception being the rolling out of 20 mph zones in communities and outside schools.
Further postscript. I shoot at the wrong people. Cindy is part of a scrutiny committee on Environment at FCC. Cindy was speaking in her capacity as a committee member. Still ironic as we have over a 1000 speeders a day through the village. Is speeding cars nothing to do with environment?

Leader Quote
"But Cllr Matt Wright, chairman of Flintshire’s environment and regeneration scrutiny committee, has vowed not to let the issue go and said it remains a top priority for Dave Faulkner, the council’s head of highways and transportation.
Cllr Wright made the promises after members of the committee, including Penyffordd councillor Cindy Hinds, voiced fears about Shotton having become one of the worst areas in Flintshire for traffic problems."

Chief Constable Mark Polin
is to start his new position as head of North Wales Police on November 1st 2009.
Hacked!
My account on The Leader has been hacked. I have a comment against my name which I did not make.
My password is unguessable. Do I have a keyboard tracker on my computer? Or is it easy to compromise the Leader's computer systems?
I have asked questions and await the answers.

An email to CBM Howie Williams with regards speeding in Chester Rd Penyffordd
cc Chief Constable Mark Polin North Wales Police
Good morning Howie,
Good morning Howie,
The rat run currently in full flow.
I hear you are not happy about disparaging remarks I have made about you.
You can blame Cllr Cindy Hinds,Cllr David Williams and Penyffordd Community Council for my comments.
After over 2 years it is patently obvious they have no appetite to stop the speeding traffic in Chester Rd.
Votes, revenge and apathy over child and OAP safety?
Perhaps they should all go except for Cllr Linda Vidamour?
How to stop the morning rat run part one.
Stand at the entrance to Terrace Lane or sit in car doing paper work.
Rat run cannot see you so they cannot accelerate from the middle of the village.
If they continue to take no notice they deserve booking.
Perhaps you can rope in the ghost squad otherwise known as North Wales Police traffic division?
My MP Mark Tami has written for the 2nd time to Arrive Alive perhaps you can confer with them.
Your suggestion that the speed limit be rolled back up the hill is most excellent.
Colin Hughes
Chester Rd, Penyffordd
Taking pride in where he lives even if councillors don't
copied to blog
ps. NWP and Arrive Alive need to alter their websites with regards Penyffordd. The exclusions and lies makes one think that the other content is fiction as well
postscript: Some may find the above harsh, it does however need to be spelt out.
I am sad at having to resort to these measures, the speeding just carries on and so do I until it stops. I want to live in a village not a race track
