I note that new street signs have been installed throughout the Central Coast, now including the Central Coast Council emblem.
I wonder if Administrator Rik Hart could advise the cost of replacing, in most cases, perfectly serviceable street signs.
And how many potholes; how much road repair and how many footpaths could have been repaired or constructed with the money spent on these signs?

I think they look so good the new street signs especially loving the Council Emblem on them. Yes they will eventually get around to the footpath’s and other repairs but in the meantime lets enjoy some beautification to the Central Coast
I fully agree with the unnecessary replacement of street signs when the Council is supposed to be in financial distress.
I have been trying to get one single “No Stopping” in Wyoming for over a year now to protect a disabled footpath exit/entrance but they refuse. Pedestrians often have to walk down the center of the road due to vehicles parked across the footpath. The yellow line is obscured by other parked vehicles. Council has “No Stopping” signs on every house boundary (13 of them) along Renwick Street but can’t prevent a child or baby in a pram etc from being hit by the many cars and trucks that turn in the short street.
