Road or obstacle course?

Local potholes are being marked by locals to warn motorists.

I am a motorcycle rider. Everyday I take my life into my own hands.

Apart from watching my speed limit, I now must constantly watch the road and avoid the big pot holes for fear of going over or into one of these pot holes and doing myself an injury and yet, they never seem to be attended to.

These holes are everywhere on the Central Coast, especially from Umina Beach to Ettalong Beach, and specifically along the beach front, and I am only talking about one area.

With the constant rain we are experiencing, more and more holes appear and numerous streets are flooded with nowhere for the water to go.

When I was 12 years old I used to spend Christmas time holidaying with my family at either Koolewong, Tascott or Point Clare.  Back then (and I am talking 60 years ago) I can remember the streets had no kerb and guttering. 

Nothing has changed!

And yet, our Council has the audacity to raise our land and water rates by 30 per cent.

Shame on them!
