Still no action on police - Gallacher

Central Coast-based Liberal MLC Mr Mike Gallacher has criticised the State Government for its continuing failure to recognise the growing unrest on the Peninsula over staffing at Woy Woy Police Station.

Commenting on the State Budget, Mr Gallacher said: "The issue of extra police resources for the Woy Woy Peninsula fails to rate a mention.

"This is very disappointing.

"In the past few months, I have been raising in the Parliament, on virtually a daily basis, the issue of insufficient policing resources based by Woy Woy Police Station," Mr Gallacher said.

"So far over 8000 local residents have signed a petition calling for the return of their police to Woy Woy and all we have is the local Member, Marie Andrews, and the State Government in denial.

"I have no doubt that their attitude is one of simply ignoring the issue and hoping it will go away.

"I can assure them that it will not go away and the NSW Opposition will not let this matter slip into the too hard basket," Mr Gallacher said.
