Go, mighty mighty Mariners!

World leaders in being NIMBY
Without a doubt, the one thing that Australia leads the world in is being NIMBY, (Not in My Backyard). We are so virtuous with our solar panels on rooftop and…
Water sell-off an inadequate solution
The editorial, (CCN 473 Independent Central Coast water authority the only way forward) demonstrates little faith in Central Coast Council. One incident with water quality does not necessarily indicate a systemic incompetence….
Sad state of affairs for Gosford bowlers
Gosford City Bowling Club members were told they had a five-year lease but it looks like Central Coast Leagues Club is forcing them into a no win situation by cutting…
Preventative lopping should be enforced
I note the warning from SES local commanders about keeping trees under control with the coming storm season (CCN472). However, I have to wonder what happens when the danger is…
Who takes responsibility?
Once again our illustrious Central Coast Council gets it wrong and the ratepayers cop the bill (Council convicted over Narara Creek sewage leak, CCN 470). Half a million bucks down…
Where are the EV chargers?
I do not own a car (too expensive, and public transport suffices for my needs), but if I did then it would be an EV (electric vehicle). However, travelling around…
Let’s keep the library building
It was interesting to read two alternate views published in the CCN forum on December 5 regarding the demolition of the old Gosford Library. I am of the view that…
Independents could cause an upset to ALP
Mr David Horsfall mentions in his letter of December 19 that today’s ALP is not the Party it was in 1972. Indeed, I think that NSW Labor has never been…
Council needs to regulate cats
People who leave their cats to roam 24/7 and leave their cats on their own for a number of days are not responsible pet owners. Having their kill left outside…
Let’s give peace another chance
I enter my 92nd year of life on January 2 and wish to pass on my firm hope and reasonable expectation. My wife and I live in a local retirement…
Lack of planning leads to DA backlog
It’s hard to fathom how Central Coast Council can quickly go from one disaster to another, particularly so when ratepayers are still paying for past Council sins. How else do…
Speak up now to save library
While the CEO of the Central Coast Council seems to be hell-bent on demolishing the current Gosford library building to apparently replace it with a concrete slab, the new developments…
Interesting times ahead
I see that Geoff Mitchell is clearly bemoaning the electoral loss by the negative, dysfunctional and anti-progressive mob that steered the Central Coast into administration (CCN Forum 467). And so…
Poor decision regarding LPP
Already the new Council is showing its colours, with the decision to increase the number of development application objections required to trigger a referral to the Local Planning Panel. The…
New trains a disappointment
I am 86 years old with a walking stick and on Friday, December 6 I caught the (new Mariyung) 9.33am train from platform 1 at Gosford. What a disappointment; why…
Real investigation needed on future of library
The proposed demolition of the iconic Sydney School Gosford Library building in Kibble Park is a short-sighted act of vandalism that will leave a lasting scar on our town. This…
Ramifications of an industry shutdown
Does Abigail Boyd realise what she is asking for (Renewed call to shut down greyhound racing industry, CCN 465)? Does she realise the ramifications a closing down of the greyhound…
Where are the national flags?
With the exception of the RSL Club and a local radio station, not one business in the entire West Gosford area has the national flag being flown. This includes all…
Fast train service a pipedream
The federal government is squandering another $500M of our money to pursue the pipedream of a fast-train service between Sydney and Newcastle. The UK government has just announced that it…
