Historical signage along Archbold Rd at Long Jetty has been returned, after previous signage was removed by Central Coast Council during renewal works to the amenities block at the location in February last year.
Member for The Entrance David Mehan said Council had not originally intended to maintain and keep the historical signage but agreed to return the signs following community outrage and a petition.
Mehan said the signage was an important part of Long Jetty’s history and Council had now improved the design, the look and the location.
“The historical signage plays an important part in illustrating the heritage of our region, and its return should never have been a point of contention,” he said.
“I’m glad that Council has finally returned the signage which allows local and visitors alike to enjoy reading about the heritage of our region.
“I commend the community for their tireless advocacy, which continues to confirm that as a joint voice, we can achieve anything.”
Laurette Rose, who campaigned for return of the signs, said she was happy with the result.
A no brainer. Thankful to have a good local member with his finger on the pulse. Good on you David.
