The EU is currently having big difficulty. How is Penyffordd affected? We are a relatively poor country that relies on public sector working and hand outs from the EU.
What affects the EU will ultimately affect Penyffordd. The only bright spot on the horizon being Airbus whose future is secured by its far east markets.
The Slog has the inside story. The comments section has some very clever people commenting.
Have a good weekend but keep the tank topped up.

To be a Councillor Part 8
There of course gotchas. Why can't they keep everything simple? The nomination paper ask for an Electoral Number. This is split into two sections.
1. Polling District Letters
2. Number
First off the polling district letters has got a number in it.
Secondly you can get the above required number off your polling card.
The only problem being it is called "Number on Register"
Just to add to the mix there is also a 14 digit number in the your details on the Poll Card.
This is all made difficult to get you back and to "County Hall" about 4 times.

PENYFFORDD AND PENYMYNYDD WAR MEMORIAL INSTITUTE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
To be a Councillor Part 5
To Shire Hall to get my Councillor Nomination Pack.
Two signatures required then back Monday.
I also have to sign a declaration of secrecy. That's when we ( as a councillor) have secret meetings about residents we don't like. (me)

Crash, Bang, Clang
At 10.00 am this morning a piece of scaffold fell off a lorry outside the Penyffordd Post Office. No one was hurt but it made one hell of a bang.
Which Penyffordd councillors are interested in stopping HGV coming through the village as a short cut. Just the one, David Williams.
The other councillors don't know what the function of a bypass is.

It's not just Penyffordd
Apparently 70 % of drivers are clueless

ps. I see Nikki who hammers through the village in her big black 4x4 every morning has slowed down. Perhaps she's nursing a couple of speed tickets.

Is David Williams going to stand for county
One of the few who isn't a Tom crony. The only councillor who fought for more affordable housing. Penyffordd needs six Davids on community to break Tom's schlerotic fix on the village.
No proper health care
Village streets a race track
Little facilities for youth
Not a full size football field within the ward.

Penyffordd County Councillor Candidates So Far
Cindy Hinds has said she will stand.
Colin Bithell I have been told is standing.
Cindy has been luke warm over Chester Rd environment concerns.
CB has been hostile. He gets red in the face over parking in his cul de sac though!
Questions have to be asked whether Colin is an honary member of the local haulage association. He said nothing over A55 Warren Bank affecting Chester Rd either.
So far not very good !

Petrol Pump Panic
Rationing Diesel in Gwersyllt to £20 each.
Queues in Pontblyddyn which is selling dear stuff.
Wouldn't want to even have a look at Tesco's Broughton.
Lorry tanker drivers are on £40K a year god bless them.
postscript: If you want a world view on petrol pricing and production look below. The comments section has some really clever people's views.

Penyffordd Institute Funding
I occasionally speak to committee member John Martin. One of the big bug bears is running an outdated building of poor insulation. In the Flintshire Chronicle today we have Welsh Minister, our AM Carl Sargeant standing outside Llanasa village hall in a photo opportunity. Llanasa people have secured £135K of funding through the Welsh Assembly Government's Community Facilities and Activities programme (CFAP).
Why is Penyffordd always at the back of the queue or not even in the queue when it comes to available grant money?

Colin Bithell in The Leader over transport and doctor's surgeries
Penyffordd councillor Colin Bithell is supporting the campaign to save the scheme.
He said: “In a village like Penyffordd where we don’t have a doctor’s surgery a lot of people need this community transport.

To be a Penyffordd Cllr Part II
One week to go and still I have no forms to fill in. There are ten places on the community council. How many forms did Scribe Nigel order or receive?
To be sure Penyffordd political leader Cllr Tom Jones and all his cronies will have their forms filled in and returned to Shire Hall.
Not very encouraging. One law for Tom and one law for others. At 85 years old Tom shouldn't be standing, neither should most of his cronies. Cllr Carolyn Thomas of Treuddyn in the last few years has secured over £600,000 worth of funding for their youth whilst Tom and his cronies have sat on their hands.

CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Thank you Gosafe
Apparently they have been here last week at 7 am. After 5 years of people continuing to speed through our community I have no sympathy. Scores have been caught.
No more forms for Councillors
I've asked Nigel for a form to be a council candidate. He says he's run out...........
Perhaps its expected the same old lot as last time will stand and no one else?

Footpath Stiles in Flintshire
Some fields can have three stiles in 300 yards.
One's that dogs can't get through.
We long ago gave up public footpaths with no facility for dogs at stiles.
Lifting three stone dogs over stiles becomes very wearing.
Our favoured countryside routes are bridle paths.
Councillor Quentin Dodd is to be welcomed for bringing this issue to the fore.
