Tom's Farm

Whilst on planning developments I see former Cllr Tom Jones' farm has been sold. I think the assets were split in to two parts. Farm buildings and a bit of land and farm land.

Our green barrier to shrink?

Proposed development of land between Buckley and  Padeswood / Penymynydd. This has been on the cards for at least 10 years. The proposed development will as a local cllr points out fragment Buckley shopping centre which is constantly under threat from local supermarkets, etc.

Knives found in Penymynydd Park

Someone is killed almost every other day in London by people using knives.

https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/police-probe-launched-after-set-14613083

The pair of knives were discovered by police officers in the park off Oak Drive in Penymynydd , prompting an investigation.

Buses

Its Saturday night 18.40. The bus is outside at the bus stop. There are no people getting on the bus, there are no people on the bus. Just an observation.

Penymynydd roundabout, not fit for purpose

We had a bypass built, a proper roundabout constructed at the train station.  Penymynydd roundabout was left as it was. So many mornings we have a queue of traffic the entire length of Penyffordd bypass. This encourages traffic to take a short cut through the village.

Penymynydd roundabout needs upgrading. Dual entrances. Smaller roundabout?

Don't see much concern over this.

Another issue is the Hope junction at Hope. If you get there before 4.30 pm the world is fine. 15 minutes later and you are in a 15 minute queue.

Friday night late

Potholes

FCC are going to start dealing with potholes. Have wondered for a while why the potholes were allowed to develop. The amateur repairs a joke.

I've decided it's some sort of political thing. #nationalgov

Here's the lovely Carolyn.

Speed Awareness

Police have been seen up the Vounog with speed cameras. This morning on my way the Spar I noticed a young man in a dark car coming out of the Spar, he seemed intent on reaching 60 mph before he got to the barbers. I have a policy of always walking on paths facing the traffic so I have a second or two to react.

Bus Stop Timetables in Penyffordd

New bus stops have been erected. Old timetables have been installed. Also FCC website is showing old timetables.

Also routes have been changed.
People have been stranded. Having to walk to Buckley, someone having to get a taxi home from Tesco's with a full shop.

Some piss poor management going on here

Chester Road is having a new bus shelter

The old one has been pulled down yesterday. The Welsh Assembly Government are funding this.

Penyffordd Institute

is having its carpark enlarged. Looks like Read's are doing it.

Proposed Redrow 192 houses

If you drive up Chester Rd past the estate on the left you will see nets on the hedges before Mrs Hibbert's house. I've decided these are there to stop birds nesting. Perhaps so the hedges can be pulled down.

Why would that be?

At the time of writing I'm unaware of any decision made by the WAG Inspector or a senior WAG politician with regards that proposed in the headline.
