Petition over needle bin

Gosford Council has received five petitions with a total of 116 signatures from Peninsula residents.

The largest petition, with 68 signatures, was regarding the needle bin in Pelican Park, Woy Woy.

The petitioners asked that the free-standing bin be relocated to the wall of the nearby public toilet block or removed completely.

Sixteen petitioners from around Umina sent Council a petition saying they supported certain principles in the floodplain maintenance of Kahibah Creek to keep it in a natural healthy state.

The petitioners said surrounding bushland should be maintained using established regeneration methods, maintenance should be done frequently and on a small scale instead of "irregularly and invasively",

They said typha reed should be cut by hand or removed by cutting and painting and not the spraying of herbicide and Council should allocate resources within its annual budget.

Eight petitioners in Wentworth South Ave, Woy Woy, have asked Council for more lighting in the street.

The petitioners said their street was very dark and they had experienced "countless break and enters, theft of garden statues and vandalism to letterboxes".

In the remaining petitions, 16 petitioners complained about safety and damage to the environment on a new estate at The Sanctuary, Umina, and eight petitioners complained about incessant barking from a dog in Winifred Ave, Umina.
