Focus on State and local elections

The federal election is over.

The focus is now on the next state and local government elections, presuming that there will be local government elections.

Mangrove Mountain residents dealing with the state's significant Mangrove Mountain landfill site have been told the "earliest time Mr Reynolds (administrator, Central Coast Council) would be available to meet with us was September 13."

Member for Gosford Ms Kathy Smith has said the absence of funding for the Rawson Rd level crossing in the NSW State Budget is a road safety concern.

Flooding and the sale of community land remain issues for Peninsula residents.

My correspondence to Gosford Council in early May, 2016 highlighting a consultant's comments in the 1990s about the Woy Woy Peninsula's floor height study plan remains unanswered.

My first and most important decision at the next state and local government elections will be to place Liberal Party candidates in the last place.

The NSW premier, Mr Mike Baird, has certainly made this decision easier, I expect, for other voters on the Central Coast.
