Put parking signs back

Gosford Council has received a petition with three signatures requesting the reinstatement of No Parking signs around the bridge area in Parks Bay, Woy Woy.

Residents also requested that a substantial road base be applied and the access road be maintained.

The petitioners stated that the recent road works carried out near Marloo Rd had been negated because of the recent heavy rainfall.

The road now wears potholes and water ridges across it, near the bridge area, due to run-off from the mountain road where recent pump works had been carried out by Council.

The No Parking signs previously round the entry to the bridge and beyond had been pulled down and discarded and, at times, residents were unable to drive to the bay area.

The petitioners said they were concerned that, in the event of a medical emergency, emergency services needed to be able to wheel a stretcher 300 metres from an ambulance along the road as they could not gain access under the bridge, leaving them with minimum lifesaving treatment and hospital access.
