Shadow Minister visits Woy Woy

Shadow Minister for Transport Ms Gladys Berejiklian has met in Woy Woy with Liberal Candidate for Gosford Cr Chris Holstein to discuss transport issues with local commuters.

Ms Berejiklian said: "Chris Holstein has long been a strong advocate for improved transport services in his local area and has raised a number of issues with me recently.

"I was keen to come back to Woy Woy to meet with local residents to discuss their concerns further," she said.

"It is clear to me that the Peninsula has been neglected for 16 years.

"It is my understanding that recently introduced Central Coast bus timetables are affecting many local bus commuters, where in some cases there are less services.

"Today I also met with local ferry operators who have been trying to discuss their operations with the Labor Govenrment but to no avail."

Cr Holstein said Central Coast public transport users were sick and tired of the Keneally Labor Government who had stopped caring about their concerns.

"Woy Woy commuters have been promised improved transport services time and time again but nothing has eventuated," Mr Holstein said.

"I'm just so glad Gladys Berejiklian was able to come back to the Coast to see these problems first hand and to talk to local commuters and operators," he said.

"A NSW Liberals and Nationals Government will ensure we make the Central Coast a top priority," Mr Holstein said.
