Less stopping in laneway

Competing interests of residents in an unnamed laneway off Alexandra St, Umina, have been resolved with Gosford Council extending No Stopping limits in the laneway.

Gosford Council had previously installed No Stopping signs in part of the lane to make access available to a resident's driveway.

An extension of the No Stopping zone was since requested "to accommodate the turning path of vehicles using a new garage built on the western side of the laneway".

However, Labor candidate for Robertson Ms Belinda Neal wrote on behalf of a resident requesting the removal of the No Stopping signs because the resident could no longer park in the laneway adjacent to the rear of his property.

The council deciding the limits were needed to allow vehicles to manoeuvre in the lane.
