With the continued friction between the parties continuing in Council there has to be a logical solution satisfactory to both parties.
Councillors Doug Eaton and Belinda Neal have to back down.
The solution would be for the Economic Development Group to be formed in the same way that the Planning Panel is set up.
There has been no apparent disagreement with the way the Panel has worked and its decisions have been accepted by all parties.
This involves a neutral chairperson and two ‘”independent” experts drawn from outside the Central Coast, together with a member of the local community selected by the Council.
Clearly if this is not done there is going to be constant argument and discord which is not going to be for the good of the Coast.
