Gathering signatures

I encourage all Peninsula residents and visitors who object to the McDonalds' proposal for Umina to make their views known.

I will be on West St between South and Berith on Tuesday, November 15, with a petition, gathering signatures which I will take to Council.

Many Peninsula residents like the many local businesses that support our community and we would hate to see local cafes, restaurants, and food providers go out of business. McDonalds will bring little benefit to our community, with claims of jobs being offset by job losses from small businesses closing down.

Not forgetting the health impacts, rubbish and visual pollution of McDonalds.
