By-pass plans to be resubmitted

Gosford Council would resubmit proposals for a long-term road bypass of Bulls Hill, a meeting of Bays' residents was told last week.

Current ideas were to upgrade Woy Woy Rd with a climbing lane which joined the existing road at the top, council's director of city services Mr Stephen Glen said.

An alternative was a back road around the old abattoir site.

Minister for the Central Coast Mr John Della Bosca said he thought that a proposal for Woy Woy Rd to be made into a State road was possible.

He said that he would "look into it".

Bays residents said that having the road be classed as a state responsibility would give it a higher chance for funding and top priority.
