Letter -- re New North Wales Police Initiative - Balance your Bobby

Dear Leader

A letter for consideration.

I read with interest in The Leader that the North Wales Police Authority and North Wales Police are to launch a revolutionary new scheme to make NWP accountable to communities. At present North Wales Police and Penyffordd Community Council are "in denial" over the 1000+ vehicles that speed through Chester Rd, Penyffordd. The so called Police Pledge initiative has been a failure. NWP have been intransigent for most of the last two years, they have refused to communicate and have been arrogant and unaccountable.

I and other residents of Chester Rd welcome this initiative. NWP have the data, they know exactly when the speeding is happening. The tools are there to measure their performance. Lets see if this initiative has teeth or just another media puff.

postscript: Neighbourhood Policing has also been a failure as far as Chester Rd Penyffordd is concerned. CBM Chris Pullen took it off the list of items to address as he couldn't be bothered doing it past a certain point.
As for the title " Balance your Bobby" Won't comment as long as it works.
