Trend toward cashless disturbing
I find the current movement toward cashless quite disturbing as I am experiencing one of the repercussions. My doctor’s practice has signs up announcing their change to a cashless business…
We need qualified councillors
I am heartened by David Harris’ comment in the article “The biggest challenges we face this year” (CCN 425) in respect of the upcoming council elections in September. He said…
Calling archery club members
I’m a member of the Erina Archery Club and I have started to compile and write the history of the club. The club was established in 1959 and if any…
Airport expansion a win for region
For the past 60 years, Warnervale airport has only been open to general aviation such as pilot training and emergency services, but the precinct now has the potential to be…
Music forced upon us as we shop
It’s great that Westfield shopping centre now has a “quiet time” every Tuesday from 10.30am-11.30am, although (it) looks to me (like) a token measure and hardly sufficient. It’s how we…
Gosford CBD plan keeps changing
The original plan for the Gosford CBD has been altered so much that the citizens can’t work out what happened to the original plan. Gosford City Library was to be…
Sensible balance needed
Jared Wright’s letter (CCN 423 Councillors fundamental to a brighter future) suggests that apart from the “3 Rs” new councillors should be focused on fiscal and economic management and the…
Council sets the record straight on Duffs Icecream
I would like to correct some of the misinformation in the article entitled Toukley loses ice creamery to Newcastle published on January 25 (CCN423). Council welcomes and supports small businesses…

Change to Acknowledgement should be rescinded

Boycott won’t mean job losses
It is farcical to suggest that there will be job losses as a result of Peter Dutton’s comment to boycott Woolworths. Overall grocery purchases will not diminish by way of…
Time to become a republic
I write in response to your correspondent (“Government is hurting most vulnerable”, CCN 422). Why on earth should the Opera House be used to observe the accession of a foreign…
Oil companies ripping us off
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid is right to be concerned with petrol pricing (CCN422). The Labor Government would be well advised to look at this instead of the current supermarket…
Thanks to the Grange
I would like to give an enormous thank you to the Grange Hotel at Wyoming for their wonderful help and support. Our group of 30 members, all retired, visited the…
Calling ex-service people
I am setting up a branch of the Royal Legion Branch in Australia. It is open to all members of the British Armed forces and anyone who has served in…
Boycott a bad idea
I will not comply with Peter Dutton’s request to boycott Woolworths, which in turn could mean the standing down of thousands of Australian workers. Misused words generate misleading actions. This…
Thank you to Adelene Village staff
As my mobility causes me to sit quietly, watching, but still enjoying the Christmas festivities, I was recently privileged to observe, and participate, at our Adelene Village Independent Living, Wyoming…
Renewables not bringing down prices
Does our Federal Government really care about the average Australian? We had a failed referendum costing $450M while we have a crisis in funding aged care and housing. We now…
Councillors fundamental to a brighter future for the region
