Woy Woy playground fence promised

A re-elected Gillard Labor Government will contribute $30,000 to build a fence around the playground at Fisherman's Wharf in Woy Woy.

Labor candidate for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill said the funding would come under the Safer Suburbs plan.

"This is a victory for local residents and traders who have been campaigning for a fence at this park," Ms O'Neill said.

"Children will soon be safer when playing at the park and parents can have greater peace of mind.

Minister for Home Affairs Mr Brendon O'Conner visited the playground on August 4, alongside Ms O'Neill and said all Australians had the right to feel safe in their local community.

"Federal Labor is committed to building stronger communities and that includes investing in improved security in Robertson," Mr O'Conner said.

"Deborah O'Neill has been working closely with local residents to improve the safety and security of Robertson so that everyone can enjoy a better quality of life."
