Object to obstacle course

Gosford Council is trying yet again to appease the need of business to encroach on public footways.

They have now on display until November 22 at libraries (under counter available on request) the draft proposals for new leasing conditions.

Anyone wishing to walk unimpeded, as you have every right to do whilst on the footway, should make time to read the proposals and submit comments and objections to council, before it is too late, and what is now a dodgem track becomes an obstacle course.

Submissions should be in writing and addressed to the General Manager, PO Box 21, Gosford or email to goscity@gosford.nsw.gov.au - Reference No 2685169.

The very least we must demand, is a clearly defined two metre wide clearway, rigidly maintained.

All areas leased should be also clearly defined with permanent markings and a plan of the areas leased, with lease authority, displayed in shop windows.
