Most recognised person of Woy

After having spoken to State ALP member Marie Andrews, the truth about her involvement to try and have Gosford Council rescind their decision to name the footbridge at Woy Woy the Spike Milligan Bridge has finally been uncovered.

Ms Andrews stated that her preference was for the name of a former Labor party member who lived in the area and someone who I had never heard of before.

She also added that the bridge was half paid for by the Labor Government, naturally forgetting that it was our taxes that paid for it.

Her objection to the Spike Milligan name was: "He was a Pommie and not an Australian."

When asked why ddn't she make her objection known during the public survey period as advertised by the Gosford Council and then later by the Sun newspaper, she stated that she was unaware of any council survey and that the council was extremely lax in letter her know what was going on.

These remarks have come from our elected representative to the NSW State Parliament and I personally find them most unacceptable.

Whether you like Spike or not, he was and still is the most recognised person that ever walked the streets of the sleepy town of Woy.
