Tesrol is needed
I would like to respond to all the negative letters in the last edition of Peninsula News regarding the proposed development by Tesrol.
I am in strong favour of the proposal.
We have moved into this area two years ago and have seen no improvement in this area, no growth.
I don't find boarded-up vacant shop fronts with ugly graffiti an attractive sight or shop front windows that are broken on regular basis.
Ettalong Beach is a disgrace!
Old wharf stumps jutting out from the sand, fallen trees allowed to rot in water, broken glass and beer bottles littering the beach: Gosford Council does not care!
This type of environment does not attract tourists or young families.
If we don't have development and big money invested, Ettalong will fall into further disrepair.
Remember, no investment means no growth means no work for our young people.
They have to go to Sydney to find work and we will have more closed shops with broken windows.
Wake up residents of Ettalong and Umina, we have to go forward, because if you don't progress, you regress.
