When things can't be worse, look at the Peninsula

I am a former resident of Woy Woy.

I did my schooling there, played football for the local club and spent my youth in what was a peaceful carefree lifestyle.

I have friends who still live on the Peninsula whom I visit from time to time and enjoy seeing.

However I just cannot understand why the residents of this area put up with the councillors and the local State Member.

The roads are in worse condition than when I left in 1969.

I have now learnt that Gosford Council amalgamated with Wyong Council: Good luck with that one.

Just when you think things are as bad as they can be, my money is on the Peninsula being even worse off.

I see that they built a pedestrian underpass at South Woy Woy rail crossing. Why?

Would you use it, especially if you're a female after sundown?

My thoughts are that you the ratepayers deserve more for their money and if your local representatives are not looking after your interest then boot them all out.

One positive that I have noticed is that the water along and around the scout hall is very clean so they have that under control.

I love to visit friends but hate driving around the potholed unkerbed streets, not to mention the traffic congestion especially Ocean Beach Rd and West St, Umina.

Good luck.
