Group welcomes school zone lights

Local group Save Our Suburbs Central Coast (SOCcc) has welcomed a State Government decision to install flashing lights in school zones.

"The decision to install flashing lights in school zones is great news, and welcomed by Save Our Suburbs who have been heavily involved in lobbying for flashing lights at school zones around the Peninsula," said Woy Woy resident and media liaison officer Mr Mark Ellis.

"Installation will not begin until 2007, and we hope it is not another election con in the same vein of the fast train promise three elections ago."

"SOScc agrees with the Minister's statement that 'We all have an interest in improving school zone safety' and we look forward to more enforcement of the tougher penalties announced in the NSW road safety project, as currently enforcement by police or council rangers is sporadic."
