Quite a saga! "<br /><br />Oh dear! You have very little chance of getting an objective assessment from the Council's own complaints procedure. For starters, it's not a finalised policy. Secondly, they always try to defend their staff, not properly examine the evidence and reached an unbiased conclusion. I say this from experience, as a complaint was rejected at stage 1, 2 and robustly dismissed under questioning by the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman didn't support their view, however, and found maladministration to have occurred.<br /><br />The feedback form is also biased - 'Very Satisfied', 'Satisfied' and 'Not Satisifed' - two positive outcomes and only one negative. That's bias. That's Anglesey Council.TGCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-2631295695589507912010-10-25T09:32:58.856+01:002010-10-25T09:32:58.856+01:00"You claim the road is unsafe, however you ne..."You claim the road is unsafe, however you need evidence, have you asked the Council for the accident records for the road"<br /><br />This is interesting, because I've had the same debate with the Council. We live on a fast road with concealed access. Entering the main road is, by everybody's assessment of doing it, dangerous. No, there haven't been any accidents at this point, but there are very many near-misses, acts of ridiculous driving, driving at twice the speed limit during evening hours, and other aspects which clearly amount to a dangerous road.<br /><br />But the Council rely on accident stats. In every sense, it means that people have to die before they will do anything. Accident prevention only comes when accidents have already happened. That's like saying 'we'll put a safety guard on the machine when someone's caught their hair in it'. In any other sphere of activity, this approach would not be tolerated.<br /><br />Arrive Alive (now Go Safe) do much the same thing. They say they monitor known accident blackspots, yet they never appear on the north coast road between Bull Bay and Cemaes. Why is that? The Air Ambulance lands on this road to RTAs almost every week.<br /><br />The latest I heard from the Head of Highways was that traffic survey updates were under threat due to cutbacks at the Assembly. They were still waiting for the money to be released a couple of months ago, even though promises had been made to local communities that the surveys would be undertaken.<br /><br />Road safety is mired in politics and funding issues. Objective and reasonable it is not.TGCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-72455471433036060182010-10-24T19:36:40.330+01:002010-10-24T19:36:40.330+01:00As a matter of interest .. who decides when a matt...As a matter of interest .. who decides when a matter is closed?

What is the volume of traffic on the road, has a survey been carried out?<br /><br />What additional traffic would the development add to the road - it has to be significant. You would need to demonstrate that the road is unsafe, and that the proposed development would result in a significant increase in the volume of traffic, further adding to the likely danger on the road. And I mean daily, especially in the peak hours, and not just occasional movements.<br /><br />These are general comments without in depth knowledge of the application you refer mention.retired highwaymannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-23432663730520613572010-10-04T21:05:10.089+01:002010-10-04T21:05:10.089+01:00The "inspection" would have been an offi...<i>The "inspection" would have been an officer sitting in his car, with the plan on the dashboard,for all of 5 minutes !
