A Fan writes...........

"99% of your blog is still a rambling vendetta with only one clear path - speeding. Parking with four wheels on the pavement is illegal - as illegal as speeding - we know of someone who does that don't we! Speeding is a pain and dangerous, so is parking on pavements, so is the idiotic parking and driving by the Spar. You have previously stated it's your views on this blog, as does your current tagline, but your constant slating of people, councillors or not, at the same time running under this blog name and URL, is casting aspersions on the village as a whole. These are not the views of the village as this does suggest based on name and URL alone. Change the name to "Victor Meldrew's Views On Speeding, And Random Rants" – that would be better, and would stop people who happen by this blog on the off chance - ultimately leaving in the belief that the entire Penyffordd area is filled with people harbouring these such of views! on Traffic News"

Some points.

This blog was started when I wrote a polite letter to the Penyffordd Community Council pointing out there was a lot of speeding on Chester Rd.

Tom Jones got Clerk Nigel to phone up to say " speeding is nothing to do with the council"

FACT: In 2007 the average daily vehicle count through Chester Rd was 2800
Of which two thirds were breaking the 30 mph speed limit

It is a fact that speeding in the village is everything to do with the council.
It is part of their remit.

I should also point out that the cars that are parked outside my house on the path every night are 99 times out of a 100 nothing to do with our household.

  1. Dear Fan,
    Unless you haven't noticed there have been some pretty terrible things happening in Flintshire recently. Quite frankly they make your petty gripes about Colin and his Blog look pathetic.
    Yes, there are times when Colin has a go at the PCC and certain Cllr's. So what? His Blog, His opinions. If you don't like it, press the button and go elsewhere. There can't be many in the Village who think that he speaks for everyone none of us are that naive. Colin's Blog is informative and he brings up local issues. Speeding, so what? too many morons on the road think they can go as fast as they like, accidents waiting to happen, lives lost and families torn apart.

  2. Reading the comments on here would appear to show that a lot of people agree with Colin and his views! If "a fan" has a problem with parking on pavements, perhaps he should contact our local Community Councillors to "do something about it".
