Liberals attend

Liberal candidate for Gosford Cr Chris Holstein and the Shadow Minister for Juvenile Justice, Women and Youth Affairs Ms Catherine Cusack attended Gosford Council's playground forum at the Woy Woy Community Centre on Thursday, December 7.

Cr Holstein said the forum was being held to give the community a say on the development of a new regional playground strategy.

Cr Holstein, a father of five and grandfather of two, agreed the younger generation would benefit from interactive playgrounds.

"With the levels of childhood obesity rising, we must ensure we do everything in our power to provide appropriate playgrounds for our children on the Central Coast," Cr Holstein said.

"Being outdoors and enjoying our beautiful local environment is a better option than leaving our children to play computer or watch television indoors."

Ms Cusack said: "It's vital that we give our children an area to play to ensure they grow up to be healthy and active adults".
