I support the local governments view on taking the Central Coast off the lockdown. There is no earthly reason why they can not restrict movements between Sydney and The Central Coast. If the government are not in a position to support the Jobkeeper payments again, then they would be much better off financially just locking down the Sydney and surrounding areas, thus gaining revenue from those business that have now had to close on the Central Coast due to the lock down. I would think that policing the border restrictions would be far less expensive than what they are doing now

It is quite apparent that the NSW government has been given totally the wrong information on the Delta Strain ignoring advise as to what happened overseas and treated it like the Alpha virius every new attack of these diseases needs to be addressed differently.
It’s about time the government got real instead of a Clayton lockdown. This should of been nipped in the bud in the eastern suburbs.
Is there a political motive in all this to blame the Federal Government
I agree we should shut southern areas off at the Hawkesbury River and no one accept emergency services be allowed to pass there’s to many tradies and so called essential services rorting the travel system and none of this 50km nonsense

We have a military that is largely kicking rocks ! Mobilize the military and have check points in the middle of the Hawksbury River bridge. Close the old pacific highway and stop people from traveling to and from the coast unless they are Essential or have permits to do so. Have these people getting tested everyday so they know immediately if they are infected. I am a business owner and although I didn’t qualify for the grant in the early stage I am feeling the drop now and can prove the loss however its outside of the requirements of the government and doesn’t count

There has been NO coved reports on the central coast so WHY are we locked down.
Just maybe the parties involved might look at the next election and their chances of survival..

Hi, I had also written to the state politicians on this some weeks ago, prior to the recent travel restrictions being within the lockdown area actually increased the risk to Central Coast residents with travel between Sydney and the Coast.
TheCoast has an older compliant demographic, more at risk, less density, and a clear geographic boundary of national park and a river.
I had not had any supporting responses either which was disappointing.

I agree. Set up checkpoints both sides of Mooney bridge. ONLY ESSENTIAL WORKERS PERMITTED
Let the coast get on with it.
