Les Hewitt judging sheep

Judge Les Hewitt, Penyffordd, Chester, found his supreme breed champion in Fronarth Dynamite, a ram lamb from Sion Jones, Ceredigion.

I see Beltex sheep on our dog walks. They have double muscles so have more meat. Don't they look pretty.

Tan 1 Consultation - Welsh Assembly Government

WAG are doing a consultation. This is to do with Welsh County Councils and having a 5 year supply of land for building purposes. Without a 5yr supply developers are able to build regardless of WAG Law. Well that's my interpretation. Flitshire County Council are currently in this position as are many other Welsh Councils. Should never have been part of the Bill. Someone batting for developers on this.

You can have your say here.

The morning's drive to work

So you're on your way down Penymynydd Rd, you're in a rush, half a sleep, etc. You get to the bottom you see the traffic has stopped, you swing around to the left, not paying attention, suddenly there is a loud shout, you hit the brakes. You are 10 feet from the lollypop man and three children crossing the road.

Car reg reported to FCC

This is the 2nd time this has happened. A minority of drivers use Chester Rd as a race track.
Time for 20mph zones which are enforced

Wrexham BC have 20 mph zones everywhere. Flintshire CC next to none.

Penyffordd Carnival this coming Saturday

Local people are to be thanked greatly for making this happen.
Weather forecast is not good at the moment.
Rain is forecast.
It is however only Tuesday. Plenty of time for change.

Speed check warning from police for motorists using Penymynydd Road

Happens on Chester Rd too, a major route to school and used by many children. Motorists are over taken on the speed bumps, also because they observe the speed limit.

Perhaps a councillor could have a word with NWP.

FCC have data on when it happens.

Going to work, coming home and shift change at lunchtime.

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
