Complaints about delivery truck

Gosford Council has resolved not to ban parking in an unnamed laneway between Uligandi St and Karingi St, Ettalong Beach, following a complaints about a newspaper delivery truck.

However, it may consider banning trucks from the laneway.

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews told the council that access via the unnamed laneway was obstructed when trucks parked to load bulk supplies of newspapers from a residence on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Ms Andrews asked that trucks be prohibited from parking in the laneway.

Ms Andrews made the request on behalf of a local resident.

Council's Traffic Committee report stated that apart from enforcement difficulties, past experience had shown that any proposal to ban parking over an entire length of road for the purpose of resolving an isolated parking problem, generally results in "dissatisfaction from the majority of local residents".

Council has now resolved that the complainant be given the opportunity through Ms Andrews to provide evidence of the problem reported, times of occurrence and the support of other residents with access to the laneway for the suggested changes.
