Support for Reclaim Beach Day

The report in Peninsula News of a six-year-old and 15-year-old having stepped on used needles on Umina-Ettalong beach is very disturbing news to most parents who use our beautiful foreshores with their kids.

The behaviour of aggressive drunks on our national Australia Day is disrespectful to our forefathers who fought for so we can have the freedom we enjoy this great country of ours.

I am sure Ria Lester ("Reclaim Umina Beach", Peninsula News, February 16) would have no trouble rallying community support for a Reclaim Umina Beach Day for families.

Umina Primary School is the largest primary school on the Central Coast and a lot of families live in Umina and Ettalong.

Name the date and venue and I'll be there with you and my family.
