Intersection upgrade given priority

An upgrade for Picnic Parade at the Fassifern St, Flounder Rd intersection, Ettalong Beach, will be listed for consideration as a high priority in Gosford Council's capital works program.

This follows a request to council's traffic committee from Cr Chris Holstein.

Linemarking renewal and signposting will also be undertaken at the intersection following a resolution of the committee.

Cr Holstein asked the committee to "review safety at the intersection".

A report to the committee stated that a number of traffic accidents had occurred at the intersection.

The committee stated that an inspection of the intersection revealed that major upgrading would be required to improve traffic conditions at the location.

Council has now resolved to include the upgrade as a high priority in its capital works program.
