Petition calls for Patonga crossing

Gosford Council has received a petition with more than 165 signatures asking for a raised pedestrian crossing in Patonga.

According to a council report, the petition has called for council to construct the crossing from the corner of the Patonga Beach Hotel to the beachfront reserve and children's playground.

"Petitioners believe that this corner poses a major safety risk to children seeking to cross the road at this point," the report stated.

"The petitioners state that council approved the placement of a safety crossing on Patonga Dr in 1995 and that this was the number two priority in the Patonga Foreshore Landscape Plan of Management report."
