Loading zone for meat deliveries
Gosford Council has resolved to install a timed loading zone on the southern side of West St, Umina, for use from 6:30-8:30am Monday to Friday.
The resolution followed a request to provide a loading zone directly adjacent to J and B Meats for unloading fresh meat products.
Investigations revealed there was existing one hour parking from 8.30am to 6 pm Monday to Friday and 8.30am to 12.30pm Saturday fronting the shop.
Goods were unloaded in an existing loading zone in South St located 10 metres south of its intersection with West St and walked to the front entrance of the shop as the shop had no rear access.
A food authority advised the shop owners that the existing practice of unloading in South St and carrying the meat to the shop in West St was undesirable.
The council adopted a recommendation of the Local Traffic Committee to implement the loading zone.
