Concern about bend

Gosford Council has received a petition from Member for Peats Ms Marie Andrews, on behalf of residents of Allfield Rd, Woy Woy, asking that the bend in Allfield Rd be discussed by the council's traffic committee.

The petitioners stated that there have been a number of incidents where speeding traffic had been unable to cope with the slight elbow bend in the road at Edward St.

The petition stated that the worst of these incidents occurred recently when a car went through the intersection, mounted the footpath and ran a man down.

The petitioners further stated that there are elderly people and school children crossing the intersection and they fear for their safety.

There are also some potholes which continually open up, regardless of repairs by Council, according to the petition.

The petitioners have asked that the issue be raised at the next Traffic Committee meeting.
