It’s time to fix those bridges

Letters to the editor are best received by email.

I wish to congratulate Geoff Mitchell of Kariong (CCN390).

He put the hammer on the nail when he pointed out that our infrastructure is so inadequate.

Over the past 30 years I have been asking our political masters and public servants about widening the three bridges near the Gosford area.

The three that I name are over the rail at Donnison St, at Etna St and at Manns Rd at Narara.

 If you have a four-lane road (Etna St), why is it that the bridges are only one lane?

All I seem to get (in response) is that there is no money for (the work).

Does that mean there is money for the public servants’ pay packets and no money for people’s rights to have safety on our roads?

Since living here from the 1960s we have (seen) very little finance being allocated from both state and federal governments for our region.
