Wrong priorities?

Information in your March 26 issue describes the proposed Civic Infrastructure Strategy, which would fund foreshore works and management plans, including the Blackwall Mountain plan of management, upgrading tracks, picnic areas, etc.

The residents of Bayview Cres presented a signed petition to Gosford Council.

We requested that there was an urgent need to have the entrance to Bayview Cres upgraded because we had to cross double lines when turning right to Woy Woy and also ours cars often hit bottom when turning to proceed up to our residences.

After chasing council up regarding our petition, to which we had received no written reply, we were informed no funds were available to widen the approach.

Instead they erected two merging traffic signs which no one takes any notice of.

My question is why spend funds for walking tracks etc, when our street is in pitiful condition?

Cannot these funds be spent more sensibly to upgrade a dangerous corner for the ratepayers in Bayview Crescent?

Come and see for yourself.
