Told to get on his bike

Any illusions I held that the residents on the Woy Woy Peninsula were well represented with a concerned and considerate police service were somewhat shattered on Tuesday, February 17, when I rode my bicycle to Woy Woy to relay some information.

Consider my surprise to watch two uninformed police officers stand slack-jawed while a public servant told me to take my complaints to Gosford Police Station.

Why I asked couldn't Woy Woy police station deal with a local issue?

It was pointed out to me that, as I was involved in a fight with Gosford Council, the Woy Woy police were not interested.

The photographic evidence I was holding was clear enough in showing registered vehicles of all descriptions breaking the law, as happens every working day year in year out without restraint.

Why is it that Woy Woy Police refused to respond to an approach with a legitimate complaint?

Am I right in understanding that using the footways in Alma Ave at Woy Woy for parking and anything else is okay with law enforcement officers, rangers and police, till someone is injured.

This is an outrageous affront to ratepayers.

Have I not seen recent election material boasting that Woy Woy has a fully-operational police station serving the community?

Well I have attempted to make formal complaints there on more than one occasion and been told to go elsewhere, and I resent it, Premier Carr.
