    In reply to IHMO I am glad to say that in the 30+ years since I took my first flight I have not crashed to the ground or been involved in a hijack. I do ,however, welcome any measures that make this less likely!

    So lead member Councillor Hugh Jones is to look at ‘ the nuance ‘ of the advice coming from the Senedd to see if they can exercise more exemptions to catch up with other Welsh councils.
    The advice such as ‘ where there are back to back houses and no crossings. He knows Rossett better than I but I can’t see any there .
    I do know my own community of Gresford ( and neighbouring Marford) , having represented it for a number of years . I could not see any roads that fit that description. Part of Chester Road goes along the back of houses but leads straight to a busy pedestrian crossing well used by children, parents and shoppers.
    Methinks there is a bit of ( typical) buck passing, similar to the lack of development planning by some of my ex colleagues!

    A pre election give away from funds that would have come from EU schemes . Also as WCBC has no plan for development how can they have any idea how to use this ?

    I have news for you IHMO – the Council ( which deals with libraries)is run by Independents and Tories and not Labour. Plaid too are in opposition except when they back the ‘ hare brain idea ‘ to spend on a judicial review so we can give developers a continued field day by having no overall plan !

    Owain- thankfully not on Twitter but last I heard “ our Sarah “ was backing Liz Truss , as she was her bag carrier ( PPS ).
    Wonder how that turned out ?
    Oops just looked at my mortgage so I have an inkling!

    Agree Participant

    Let’s build this initiative on the science and statistics and not on ‘ who shouts loudest ‘ or which article in the media ( sponsored by big oil) you need to regurgitate!

    I just googled ROSPA – urban speed limits .

    According to a six year ROSPA survey the risk of death @ 20mph is 5% and at 30mph is 45% . Thus the government action will cut the pressure on the NHS as preventing injury is better than dealing with the effects.
    Also cheaper as the cost of dealing with one serious injury to the NHS and care services is estimated at £1m ,thus the cost of promoting the scheme is relative peanuts.
    Mind if you MUST get to the shops 5 minutes early !

    Four years ago ( almost to the month Ms Atherton as a humble community councillor, wrote an article in a local magazine “ A councillor’s view”. It purported that it came from the whole council despite not being shared beforehand with members or the clerk .
    Let’s put that aside though and concentrate on her message. She was ,then , concerned with uncontrolled planning, some in Gresford and others elsewhere e.g. Dean Road , and in Clay. NOW her view , in her more exalted position (sic) is the best way to tackle uncontrolled planning is to praise those who reject the element of control that an LDP brings . As has been said elsewhere it beggars belief that a ‘ lawmaker’ seemingly praises those who go against legal advice . Oh silly me I’d forgotten the government’s breaches of international law , not to mention the unlawful advice to the late queen in 2019 !
