Trim the waste

In view of Gosford Council's apparent loss of $70 million through investment in financial products they did not understand, would now not be a prudent time to trim unnecessary waste?

Suggestion one is to move council chambers to Erina, the commercial centre of Gosford City.

That way we can stop wasting ratepayers' money on efforts to bring Gosford back to its former glory.

Gosford as a commercial centre is dead and buried.

Gosford's only hope is to reinvent itself.

My suggestion is as an educational hub.

Put a university there linked to Gosford Hospital and watch foreign and local students breathe new life into its dead heart.

Westfield Tuggerah killed Wyong as a commercial centre.

Erina Fair did the same to Gosford.

Let's face facts and stop wasting any more money on a futile exercise.
