Spoilt kids running to their mum

I find it most odd that Gosford Council would try to suspend Cr Peter Freewater for doing the job he was elected to do: tell the rate payers what their money is spent on.

If they believe he is wrong with his description of their "weekend workshop" as a "junket, completely unnecessary and a waste of rate payer's money" let them stand and defend their position, not behave like spoilt kids running to their mum.

Unless Cr Freewater has done something criminal, he should be allowed to get on with his job, not have to worry about suspension.

Gosford Council should get on with its job (and that includes listening to those who live in the area, pay their rates and vote for the councillors) not just sit in their ivory castle.

Councillors, our road, kerbs and guttering is appalling in some areas so forget your weekends away, drive around the Peninsula and see what needs to be done.

You might get a reality check.
