Too little too late

I read the article regarding the proposed question and answer meetings for Peninsula residents put forward by Central Coast Councillor Kyle MacGregor.

I find it funny that they now want to know what issues Peninsula residents are concerned about.

Our council representatives have had three years to find out what matters to the people of the Peninsula.

But now we are entering the election cycle for September 2020 and they are asking the residents what concerns they have.

The only reason they are doing this is to formulate their election campaign strategies.

They will not have the time to effect any changes that may be put forward and even if they did have the time they wouldn't so as to leave themselves campaign promises for the election.

All three of our ward councillors have been missing on the ground within the Peninsula for the past three years.

I can't recall any publicly announced forums to find out what the community is concerned about in that time.

Call me cynical but with only 10 months left until the election, this is too little too late.
