Police called to Bulls Hill

Gosford Council has called on Brisbane Water police to increase their presence near Bulls Hill following the introduction of vehicle weight and speed restrictions on Woy Woy Rd.

Council has sent a letter to police advising of reports of both vehicles traversing the one-way section of Woy Woy Rd which clearly breach the five tonne gross vehicle mass and of vehicles exceeding the temporary 25 km/h speed limit.

The letter was sent at the request of the Bays Community Group to ensure the safety of road users and pedestrians following the Woy Woy Rd collapse.

The council agenda stated: "the assistance of the police force has been sought in substantial and concentrated policing of the section of Woy Woy Rd in question during the period in which the temporary arrangements are in force in the interest of community safety."

Council also sent a letter to Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews seeking her support for the proposed increase in police presence.
