Walk is a pleasure, except for the footpath

Take a walk (that is if you are game) along the Beachside Esplanade of Umina Beach on a bright sunny day with a slight sea breeze blowing.

What could be more beautiful in life, except for the broken substandard footpath that you have to use.

If you don't twist an ankle or trip and hurt yourself on the very neglected pavement, then you will be fortunate indeed.

For disabled persons, those in wheelchairs, or mothers with prams, there are no access ramps to cross the road so you are obliged to stay on the path or risk your life on the road.

The Esplanade walk from Ettalong to Umina is truly a pleasure except for the miserable state of the footpath.

Shame on our Council for letting it fall into such disrepair.
