My question on The Leader comment section finally answered by Alison.
Why did Labour abstain?
Answer " A fly on the wall admitted there is no way Labour wants to resume government with only a year to go before the next election."

Village Pest
Apparently that's me. So says a commenter
Not brave enough to put a name down though.
I presume the above came after an email sent to specific people this morning.
Seems fighting for a safe environment is an issue for someone.
postscript: I find the general outlook for environment in the village depressing.
Why should we have speeders, it's still over a 1000 a day.
Why should we have through lorries.
Why should bikers tear along the bypass at 120 mph with illegal exhausts
Why should we have a 1000 vehicles using the village as a short cut everyday.
Yes the commenter is right. I should leave the place it's full of little people.
No environmental ambition just happy to be the biggest speediest short cut in Flintshire.
Further postscript. Thank you for the encouragement Ann. My email tresmegistes@gmail.com

Running a Business by Committee , not the way to go
The struggle to find a lasting solution to Wrexham FC continues. A lot of Penyfforddians support Wrexham. Owning a football club in UK appears to involve burning money in large amounts. Sky Sports have so unbalanced the sport where Premiere League get nearly all the spoils and those below are left with the crumbs on the table.
I wish the club well but fear there will be tears before too long.

The roads are busy
around Chester. Whatever you do do NOT approach the A494 to Queensferry from the M56. Tailbacks building by the second. The road system in the area remains a dog's breakfast due to Aston Hill two lanes.

If you wish to see the chaos
postscript: Bikers hammering along the Penyffordd By Pass with illegal exhausts as per normal. What speed? 120 - 140 mph ?

Blogger is messing around
Service will be resumed shortly. We have three computers, blogger malfunctions on two out of three. Well done Google.
Two machines working now. That will have to do. The fix is to remove all cookies, cache and temporary files.
Which is not very good on a working machine. This fault is experienced by tens of thousands of bloggers, Google should not mess us around like this

Driver attitudes
This morning I have had a driver shake his fist at me because I had the temerity to point at him speeding. This of course is the same attitude as drivers getting mad at funeral traffic slowing them down. This scumbag behaviour needs stamping on. Our CBM Howie Williams on strike won't do the speeding rat run. This with councillor approval?

Support for Council Leader Arnold Woolley from an unusual source
A letter by Gareth Williams in The Flintshire Chronicle May 19 2011
Leader deserves a bit of moral support
Following on from recent reports regarding the AGM at Flintshire County Council and the re-election of council leader Arnold Woolley.
Your report suggests Cllr Woolley was not really flavour of the month but still managed to get re-elected as the leader of the council, with only the controlling groups supporting him.
Well nothing new there then. It always happens that way, controlling group members supporting their own and opposition groups either abstaining or voting against..
The opposition should have put up an alternative leader; otherwise shut up ans get on with the business of delivering council services.
I worked along side Cllr Woolley for several years, and while we agreed to disagree on many occasions he did always try to do his level best. You can't ask for more.
I'm not aware of failing services in Flintshire. Some could do better; and there will always be a need for service improvement, but many are excellent and others continue to improve.
What has really ticked me off - and, I suggest, many other people - is some of the comments made from the opposition councillors, who should know better
Gareth Williams , Mold
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gareth Williams stood for Labour in Buckley Bistre East in 2004 and was elected with 485 votes.
He failed to get elected in 2008
Will he be standing in 2012 as an Independent given the above letter contents?

Upcoming Reality for Penyffordd
Saint Vince Cable talks sense in The Guardian.
Today I have reached the grand old age of 57.
Birthday wishes.
To live in a village centre community with a bypass and not a massive unpoliced short cut designed by the Welsh Assembly Government with Flintshire Highways.
IMO speeding is still over a 1000 a day cllrs.
Postscript: I forgot this is supposed to be our last day on this earth.
Hold you're breath at 6 pm tonight for the big rapture

Secret Meetings
There was a meeting Wednesday night in the Institute over the 234 house Wood Lane Farm development. I live on Chester Rd that will have extra masses of traffic with the above development. Where were notices put up?
I am told about 20 residents turned up. A developers and council's planning dept dream?
Not everyone uses the post office or the Spar. It would have been quite easy to have a sign on Chester Rd next to the Institute or perhaps an email broadcast.

Right place guys but wrong time. The morning rat run has elements that fly past our new lolly pop man.

The Leader comments section
is becoming a joke. A valid comment about Penyffordd environment removed. Will the Leader put it back up?
postscript An email to The Leader ignored. So much for debate.
