Council pursues disabled access

Gosford Council is continuing to seek improvements to the disabled access at the Pavilion centre, Woy Woy, according to a recent council staff report.

Petitioners had asked council last November for disabled access to the Pavilion Centre.

A disabled access ramp has been constructed on the Pavilion forecourt, but it does not align with the road.

The petition had nine signatures.

Council's education and compliance unit has now sent a letter to the petitioners telling them that, following "lengthy negotiations" between the parties, the Deepwater Plaza owners eventually refused to allow the kerb ramp to be constructed.

The letter stated that the footway was located on private property within the Pavilion property but the kerb component was located within the Deepwater Plaza property adjacent to the side boundary.

It stated that the Pavilion owners were unaware that the kerb was not within their property.
