A crash in Penyffordd?
My blog log reveals activity.
Sirens were going before 8.0am
Tomorrow may reveal the truth.

Welsh Education going down the toilet
Children not reading at aged 7.
What pray do they actually do in school?
Is it the parents fault for supplying duff material?
Children with attitude issues, no discipline?

Rules for them rules for us
Penyffordd a damp start. Sirens on the bypass. A victim of the morning race to work?
I read over the weekend that serial offenders of more than 15 crimes are still being let off with a slapped wrist. ie don't do it again or else!
Yesterday and over the weekend Penyffordd Bypass sounded like a race track with the sound of screaming exhausts. We have a morning rat run that no one will address.
Gosafe the quango in charge of keeping our roads safe are unaccountable.
North Wales is a race track at weekends.
Welsh Assembly Minister for Transport Carl Sargeant AM and his wife are on 100k a year. What does Carl do for this money.
Here's where some of our money goes. There is a sickness in our ruling classes. They just don't "get it". Read the comments section.

Things you shouldn't do in public - excess drinking - especially if you are someone
No news in Penyffordd. Showers and getting slightly cooler. Leaves are changing colour Autumn has started.
Recently local employer Bank of America have been in the news over plans to sell their UK credit card business. One might wonder why a company would sell a profitable going concern. Ben gives the answer below.
Here's Ben Bernanke USA Federal Reserve Chairman holding forth. WARNING There is profanity. Whether it's real or not is another matter. It is however not too wide of the mark.
http://www.theonion.com/articles/drunken-ben-bernanke-tells-everyone-at-neighborhoo,21059/
EU countries signed up to the Euro are in a similar mess. Spain has a million new properties unsold for example.
Whatever happens in the Eurozone will affect us even though we are not a member.
Locally Buckley have announced a 10 year renewal plan.
http://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/105673/flintshire-town-s-10-year-plan-for-makeover-unveiled.aspx
There is a vast change taking place on Welsh town and village streets. Pubs and small shops will all but disappear.

A Penyffordd Housing Estate with a view
Also you get free noise from the bypass.
Sounds like a race track come the weekend.

Police clampdown on speeders on A55, A470 and A483
"Chief Inspector Dave Roome from North Wales Police said: “We want to work with drivers and that is why we are giving advance notice of this week-long operation. Speeding is an issue that concerns many residents and one that we take extremely seriously."
No you don't Dave you do bugger all for Chester Rd. We have a rat run every working morning. Penyffordd Cllrs, Gosafe, Cllr Tony Sharps, Mark Tami MP and Carl Sargeant AM know this and do nothing.
What about communities. What about Penyffordd Bypass. You can't get bikers with the van because they have no number plate on the front. What about all the illegal exhausts?

postscript. Just seen a black Mercedes 60 plate overtaking three speeders going up our hill towards Broughton, still on the wrong side of the road on the bend. Scumbags really who shouldn't have a license. " Working with drivers", there's a laugh Dave.
I presume our rat run will not be policed because our councillors are too scared of the speeders? I await our local elections.

A Model for Cllr Arnold Woolley Flintshire Council Leader
Not sure where this has originated from but it look good. Needs to include methods for stopping traffic hammering through Flintshire communities such as Wrexham Borough Council strategy.
Also keeping HGV to trunk roads.
This is a start though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A maverick mayor elected after promising to slash council spending, clear the streets of yobs and ditch politically correct services is the torchbearer for how towns should be run.
On his first morning as Mayor of Doncaster in South Yorkshire , Peter Davies cut his salary from £73,000 to £30,000 then closed the council's newspaper for "peddling politics on the rates".
Now three weeks into his job, Mr Davies is pressing ahead with plans he hopes will see the number of town councillors cut from 63 to just 21, saving taxpayers £800,000.
Mr Davies said: "If 100 senators can run the United States of America , I can't see how 63 councillors are needed to run Doncaster "..
He has withdrawn Doncaster from the Local Government Association and the Local Government Information Unit, saving another £200,000. Mr Davies said, "They are just talking shops".
" Doncaster is in for some serious untwinning. We are twinned with probably nine other cities around the world and they are just for people to fly off and have a binge at the council's expense".
The mayor's chauffeur-driven car has also been axed by Mr Davies and the driver given another job. Mr Davies, born and bred in Doncaster, swept to power in the May election with 24,244 votes as a candidate for the English Democrats, a party that wants tight immigration curbs, an English Parliament and a law forcing every public building to fly the flag of St. George.
He has promised to end council funding for Doncaster 's International Women's Day, Black History Month and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month.
He said, "Politicians have got completely out of touch with what people want.
"We need to cut costs. I want to pass on some savings I make in reduced taxes and use the rest for things we really need, like improved children's services".
Mr Davies has received messages from well wishers across the country and abroad as news of his no-nonsense approach spreads.
Now it's your chance to spread this most sensible way to run a town council.

No News in Penyffordd
The daily non traffic policing of our village centre continues. Gosafe a waste of public money as far as Penyffordd is concerned.
Why are HGV allowed through the village when we have a bypass?
Some of our cllrs are supporting local HGV business over village environment.
There needs to be a massive stand down come the election next year. Cllr Tom Jones and his cronies need to go. I offer Rossett village centre as the standard. Road humps and a 20 mph compulsory zone.
Back to the headline.................
It would appear the economy continues to slow down however. Shopping in Wales is down by a massive 9.2%. On Sunday I heard traders at Chirk carboot saying business is down.

Chirk Carboot
An unusual item, an unusual stall. Old fashioned trunks and boxes for sale. Chirk Carboot are now charging for entry after 8.00 am, £1 per car. Still good value, the biggest carboot in UK?

Penyffordd Allotments
are coming along well. Quite a few taken. I'm sure Cllr Cindy Hinds will know if any are available. Seems to be a bit of sharing with caravan people over use of the land.
Targets met to cut deaths and injuries on Welsh roads
Propaganda through the use of statistics by North Wales Police in The Daily Post.
Performing miracles.
How many people killed on the roads of Flintshire in the last month? Is it five? The standard of driving on the roads is risible. Lots of drivers race around with no thought for other drivers, cyclists, horses and pedestrians.
You get pushed and tailgaited. Traffic policing is next to nothing. There is a free for all after 6 at night. Cars hammer through communities ( except for Northop Hall) safe in the knowledge that police presence is non existent.
Gosafe are a joke. Why won't they police our morning daily rat run?
Bikers hammer down our bypass doing ton plus with illegal exhausts by the 100 each weekend. North Wales is a race track for them.
CBM's have retired from traffic policing except for media puffs.
North Wales Police are a joke over traffic policing. The statistics are more likely an issue of social change due to the credit crunch. As far as traffic policing is concerned NWP just about retired from it when Richard Brunstrom took over. This has been highlighted in the local media by a former traffic policeman. "Decimated" was the word he used.
“Together with partner agencies we are working to identify solutions and with the growing use of pedal cycles we would advise cyclists to wear helmets, light coloured clothing and reflectors at night,” Insp Hughes added."
What about the idiots behind the wheel Insp Hughes?
The bullshit is here in The Daily Post.
postscript: Stay away from the A5104 Penyffordd to Pontblyddyn road at rush hour, it's deadly. The white line regularly crossed on bends by idiots who go too fast. That's from my wife who was there at tea time.

Penyffordd to retain British Legion Club status
in The Leader.
The special meeting held very heated. One presumes not being affiliated to the British Legion saves money or is it about being a British Legion?
Special meetings normally require a proposer and a number of seconders.

Welsh MP's and AM's have no pride in North Wales
Why is it that every weekend N Wales is used as a race track by bikers with illegal exhausts?
Many 100's of bikers scream along Penyffordd Bypass and many other roads in N Wales.
Carl Sargeant AM, Mark Tami MP and Mark Isherwood AM - guilty. Why do we pay them, they just talk.
The Welsh Assembly Government wants more powers. The above to me proves they are not fit for purpose.
