Elections must go ahead

The elections must go ahead.

Since the abolition of wards in the Gosford Council, any approach to a Councillor has been met with the stock answers of "Not my problem" or "I don't represent you".

The sooner the elections are held and we can shirt-front our councillor the better.

The Peninsula has been the whipping boy for too long.

We pay millions and get hundreds.

The longer the delay, the longer we wait for value for our rates.

Postponing things will only delay the much needed capital works we are crying out for.

We all appreciate that Mr Ian Reynolds has an enormous task to perform and that time constraints don't make it easy, but moving the long understood finalisation date is not the answer.

If Mr Reynolds is falling behind, get him some help, don't just prolong the agony.

The elections must go ahead in September.

No excuses, no postponements.
