Construction News - More attacks on the village

I saw 2 workmen with fluoro's theodolites on the corner of the field below Meadowslea the other day. I thought strange. Forgot to pass it on........

Tonight it's all over Facebook. When asked workmen said they were going to build housing. A local farmer rents fields. Property owner is based overseas apparently.

Very Bad Road

Crash - Flintshire


Reports of slow traffic due to accident on A5104 between A541 (Leeswood) and Stryt Isaf (Penyffordd).

The number of drivers who cut blind corners on this stretch of road is depressing.
