Masson Lane is named
An unnamed laneway in Killcare will be named Masson Lane after the Masson family who lived in the area for three generations.
Gosford Council was approached by Australia Post to name the unnamed laneway due to problems with mail delivery in the area.
The name Ford Lane was first proposed and placed on public exhibition only to attract six objections in support of the name Masson Lane.
"A Killcare resident suggested her grandfather's name William John Masson as he once owned the property which adjoins the laneway," a council report stated.
"The land has been passed down through his family for three generations.
"The resident was raised on the property during the 1940s, and this laneway was her playground."
Masson laneway runs between Putty Beach Rd and Grandview Cres in Killcare.
