We deserve our fair share

The Woy Woy Peninsula is home to over a third of the population of Gosford City.

Since the formation of the Central Coast Council by the current Liberal State Government there has been a noticeable increase of neglect on the local beaches, roads, drainage and other infrastructure.

Two examples of neglect can be seen at Woy Woy Baths which are becoming dilapidated from lack of repair, and Ocean Beach which has suffered extreme erosion affecting beach access.

It seems the Woy Woy Peninsula has become The Forgotten Land for this administrator, and the only way to rectify this is in the upcoming local council election in September 2017.

Yet, now I read there is a Save Tuggerah Lakes candidate standing in the west ward which covers the Woy Woy Peninsula.

We not only need someone elected to represent us who actually lives in the ward, but we need someone who is going to fight for the services and needs of this area not a party affiliated with Wyong.

If you see a neglected road, service, or infrastructure on the Woy Woy Peninsula, write into this newspaper to alert any candidate who asks for your vote that we will not become the dumping ground of the Coast and deserve our fair share of funding.
