Chamber congratulates Lucy Wicks

The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has congratulated Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks on her re-election.

"Lucy Wicks has been a very good Federal Member for the Peninsula and the business community congratulates her on the victory," said chamber president Mr Matthew Wales.

"This federal election was a tough one and I think it is safe to say that the results were a surprise to everyone," Mr Wales said.

"Politicians need to work hard for the constituents and this election demonstrated that voters can be unforgiving even when their local representatives are doing a good job.

"However, Lucy Wicks has always made a strong case for the Peninsula and the business community is looking forward to working with her and ensuring that the funding commitments are honoured particularly for the promised road reconstruction works in Ryans Rd, Murray St and Davis St.

"We will be canvassing the Federal Member's office over the next few months for additional Federal funding for road and drainage projects across the Peninsula and black spot funding particularly for the intersection of Rawson Rd and Ocean Beach Rd at Woy Woy," Mr Wales said.
