A Message of thank you to the Penyffordd Electorate

I wish to take this opportunity to thank those in Penyffordd and surrounding districts who turned out to vote on May 1st 2008 in the local elections. Although I did not get elected 371 of you thought my ideas for the village had merit.

My election literature included items such as compulsory 20 mph zones for busy centres of the village and major routes to school.
The banning of short cut HGV's from the village, lower speed limits for Dobshill, email communication by the Penyffordd Community Council, regular reports by Penyffordd County Cllrs on matters in the village and at Shire Hall that affect our villages, better relations between councillors and North Wales Police, the reduction of the 40 mph section of Penyffordd By Pass to lessen vehicle noise, better facilities for the youth. The Warren Hall Business Park and Warren Hall A55 exit which will double or triple Chester Road traffic if not diverted to the by-pass.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Cllr Cindy Hinds and Cllr Linda Vidamour for their understanding of the traffic issue that faces Chester Rd and Corwen Rd. In Cindy's recent Summer newsletter it was mentioned that speeding traffic was still a small percentage. I think Cindy was referring to the Vounog.

Chester Rd remains a major danger to our children. I am of the opinion that Chester Rd has well in excess of 3000 vehicles each day and rising even though we have a by-pass. The number speeding is still well over 1000 a day.

Cllr David Williams at the last Penyffordd Community Council meeting handed out a Traffic Survey Form for the Penyffordd Community Council to consider. This is most welcome. I hope Penyffordd Community will back Cllr David Williams and Cllr Cindy Hinds in their endeavors to return Chester Rd to a village centre rather than its current status a short cut and race track.

I remain committed to living in a village with a bypass and not a village road that acts as a high speed by-pass.
