Name change idea receives cool response

The Bays Community Group has received a large response from residents regarding its suggestion to amalgamate Horsfield Bay, Phegans Bay and Woy Woy Bay and change the name to The Bays.

Around 83 per cent of people who responded said they were against the change while 17 per cent said they would welcome it.

Bays Community Group president Mr Bob Puffett said those against the change were saying the issue was raised back in the mid-1980s and squashed by the Geographical Names Board.

The Bays Community Group is calling on people who have copies of notices or old newsletters with details of the issue raised in the 1980s, to contact it via baysbulletin@hotmail.com.
