Majority want retention of park

Much has been said about Gosford Council's proposed land grab of our valued open space.

Reference is made here to the parcel of land situated at Pozieres Ave in Umina.

It is understood council will sell numbers 40, 42 and 46 and retain number 44.

There is a lot of charm in this parcel of land.

None more so than the hundred-year-old banksia trees which have withstood the element of time and are still generating new growth.

How on earth could you decimate these trees?

Visitors are in envy of our nature-strip while the majority of our town's people want the retention of the park.

And want to keep it as a park, not to be built out by future building development.
