Chamber asked about loading zone

The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has been asked to comment on positioning of a loading zone in George St, Woy Woy.

Gosford Council recently resolved to install No Stopping signs over two driveways in George St, Woy Woy, as the current No Stopping sign was sometimes interpreted as an indication that motorists could park across the driveway.

The applicant told council's traffic committee that a large number of delivery vehicles also parked across the same driveway due to difficulties they had when delivering to surrounding businesses.

The applicant asked that the parking in George St be changed to a loading zone to allow for delivery vehicles and that "Do Not Park Across Driveway" signage be included underneath the current 1 hour Parking sign.

The applicant stated that this would only take out one car space.

Council traffic committee stated that a loading zone and the requested signage was warranted.

It proposed that Peninsula Chamber of Commerce be asked to comment on the location for the loading zone.
