Let’s see some action on petrol prices
I noticed the article “War of words over petrol pricing campaign” in CCN 431. I am sick of seeing this type of grandstanding. Most of us are struggling with most…
Bridges need widening urgently
Both the state governments over the past 20 years have ignored the urgency of widening the bridges near Gosford. Donnison St, Etna St and the Manns Rd bridge at Narara…
Silos could be tourist attraction
I was very interested to read that a board has been appointed to manage the Central Coast Wetlands (CCN 430). I have enjoyed this area for decades and I am…
We don’t want another Chernobyl
Your correspondent still appears to be Araldited to the noxious notion of nuclear energy (Mix of nuclear and renewables the way to go, CCN 430). We can have free solar,…
Huge disparity in petrol prices
On March 15 I drove from Woy Woy to Tuggerah to fuel up. Unleaded 91 fuel was $1.87.5 compared to my local $2.29.9 rounding out to $2.30 a litre. I…
Wyoming Rd needs attention
I fully support Bob Hall’s comments regarding Wyoming Rd South (CCN 425). As a rate-paying resident for 50-plus years, I recall in the late 70s signing a petition for a…
No thanks to nuclear
The Opposition has identified two locations on the Central Coast for its nuclear power plant proposal, Eraring and Bayswater. An excellent way to ensure that Labor is returned at the…
Toukley McDonald’s a bad idea
The Council should not allow a McDonald’s restaurant at Toukley. The traffic is already congested with the school, Aldi, Service NSW and the coffee shop right near the traffic lights….
Where are the trees?
Good news: Council is upgrading 11 play areas around the Central Coast. Yay. Bad news: Council is NOT providing any shade at any of these areas. Boo. Email, Feb 26Phil…
Bulk-billing the solution to cashless woes
One solution to Peter Blyth’s conundrum (Trend toward cashless disturbing, CCN 426) is to find a GP who bulk-bills. I know that it can be difficult, but now that they…
Action on e-scooters needed
When is security at Bateau Bay shopping centre and the Police going to actually do something about the teenage delinquents riding e-scooters up and down the bus service area? Will…
Interesting rainfall analysis

Aussie manufactured is good news
I was surprised by the story on moving a 477-tonne transformer from Victoria to NSW (Giant transformer on 1,000km trip to Colongra, CCN 425), not just because of the massive…
Change to Acknowledgement should be rescinded
On Tuesday, January 23, I attended the Central Coast Council meeting … (and) a decision was made, it seems unilaterally, by Administrator Rick Hart without consultation or acknowledgement of the…
Time to become a republic
I write in response to your correspondent (“Government is hurting most vulnerable”, CCN 422). Why on earth should the Opera House be used to observe the accession of a foreign…
Oil companies ripping us off
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid is right to be concerned with petrol pricing (CCN422). The Labor Government would be well advised to look at this instead of the current supermarket…
Thanks to the Grange
I would like to give an enormous thank you to the Grange Hotel at Wyoming for their wonderful help and support. Our group of 30 members, all retired, visited the…
Calling ex-service people

Boycott a bad idea
I will not comply with Peter Dutton’s request to boycott Woolworths, which in turn could mean the standing down of thousands of Australian workers. Misused words generate misleading actions. This…
