Bus stop removed

A bus shelter adjacent to the Burrawang Reserve in Hillview St, opposite Florida Ave, Woy Woy, was removed recently.

Its timber structure was found to be rotten and unsound, according to Gosford Council ancillary assets engineer Mr Phil Miles.

Mr Miles said the bus shelter was inspected on July 6, and had been listed for replacement.

He said bus operator Busways was informed of the shelter's condition, and decided to make the bus stop redundant, as a stop existed 100 metres south on Hillview St, between Nambucca Dr and the reserve.

The company preferred to keep a spacing of 400 metres between stops.

The shelter was removed on July 8.
