We have have to breathe life into the area

In reply to Laurie Powell's letter published in edition 476, as a long-time visitor and now new resident to Woy Woy, I have watched the change to the area over the last 20 plus years and am enthused and excited about the future for the area.

What does frustrate me is the lack of foresight to really encourage business and employment to the area that would enable residents, of all ages, to work locally and invest in the area.

We are blessed with beautiful geographical locations, but we can't rely on that alone.

We have to breathe life into the area and mature it into a place where we can live, work and play.

More trains to the city are not the long term answer.

More opportunities here are what should be encouraged.
