It just keeps on getting worse
It just keeps on getting worse for Peninsula residents (Peninsula News edition 407).
On the front page, another major bank withdraws from Umina.
Never fear, you the Westpac customers can still access free face-to-face banking services at the Umina Australian Post Office - you know the post office in the back of that chemist shop.
Page three, NSW Opposition calls for clarity on underpass future - not much future as the NSW liberal Government scuttled that project as they now need the money, earmarked for the crossing, to help fix the cost and management blowouts of the numerous light rail projects in Sydney.
Unfortunately, we must expect a bad situation in the future as the extreme lengths/weights on the goods trains passing through this crossing on a major rail system line (NSW to/from Queensland).
Page four, wet weather speed limit for Woy Woy road - good idea, at the same time add to the new signs, "no trucks over two tonnes", This will overcome the problem of relocating the rail crossover further south (really west) towards the sewerage and landfill turn off in Nagari Rd.
Page five, Ms Lucy Wicks speaks of need for mobile coverage. Why do we need this mobile coverage? Is it so that Peninsula residents can talk to Services NSW in Gosford or the new Erina branch as Ms Wicks and the Liberals closed Woy Woy Motor Registry?
The Liberals think it is easier to drive my car from Umina to Gosford than have a Woy Woy Services NSW.
The logic of the people like Ms Wicks in government nowadays leaves a lot to be desired.
Page seven, when the Liberals win you lose. Yes, Ms Wicks has failed the Coast.
I cannot wait to cast my vote away from our failed State and Federal Liberal Governments.
