A Big Thank You to The Flintshire Evening Leader

for highlighting the continuing speeding and noise pollution in Chester Rd, Penyffordd by 2000 cars daily. We are effectively the 2nd By Pass for Penyffordd. I hope our County Councilors will press this matter until the traffic obeys the speed limit.

The applying of the Welsh Assembly Government's "Manual for Streets" to Chester Road, Penyffordd.

I hope for a rural village centre with 20 mph compulsory speed limit, the exclusion of HGV's from the village for our children, residents , horses, and pensioners. We have a By - Pass, a lot of traffic prefers the village. Chester Road is currently a Rat Run.

Wrexham Council have excellent traffic calming measures in Rossett, Cefn Mawr and Rhosllanerchrugog.
If Flintshire County Council do not slow all the traffic down ( It is within their power to do so) I will write to Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom for permission to protest block Chester Road during rush hour.

  1. Having read through your blog, you are obviously a powerless authoritarian with too much time on your hands! :)

    I'm assuming no one has died in Penyffordd even though "everyone is travelling at 40-50mph". You know that a few deaths is the minimum needed before official types actually start to take notice of nutters with too much time on their hands? :)

    I'm also wondering if you would be happy to take responsibility for the deaths of people who's ambulances were being held up by your traffic calming measures?

    Finally, is it sensible to have a 20 mph limit at 3am when there is no other traffic? Is it sensible to have the traffic management requirements of your county being dictated by a nutter with too much time on his hands rather than professionals who know the facts and are not taken in by emotional 'what ifs'?
    Go on, delete this post - you know you want to - but if you do, it will get posted elsewhere on the internet.

  2. Hi
    Thanks for the comment.
    We are a village, we have a by-pass for passing traffic.
    I will continue to campaign for a quiet village, its at the heart of the Welsh Assembly Government's plans.

    regards Colin
