Speeding in laneway

Gosford Council has been asked to take action to prevent drivers speeding along a laneway between Beach St and Ridge St, Ettalong.

A petition with 18 signatures was received by Council stating that drivers were speeding along the laneway, causing dust to cover their washing and also rise into their homes.

Petrol fumes were also unpleasant.

The petitioners said the laneway was used by children to walk to school and by groups of people on bicycles.

The residents said they feared that it was only a matter of time before someone was struck by a speeding motorist.
