Centre will pay dividends

With all the unnecessary criticism that the Peninsula Liesure Centre has received since opening, I would just like to say thank you to Gosford City Council for providing it and thank you for the staff that operate it.

Some people in the community would rather the money have been spent on upgrading footpaths out the front of their shops but, hey, they would wouldn't they!

The centre may not run at a financial profit yet but it will pay dividends for years to come in the form of saving children's lives by teaching them to swim and also tackling our obesity crisis, not to mention the many elderly people I see whom use the facility keeping them fit and healthy.
