The dinosaurs of today
Today’s “dinosaurs” are our patriarchal and hierarchical institutions including financial, political and religious. Our financial institutions, with their focus on greed and profit for shareholders, are partly responsible for climate…
Governments, politicians ignore health concerns of power stations
We frown over the way Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are oblivious to outside scrutiny, yet are the citizens of NSW copping the same treatment from the Labor Party or…
Aircraft noise concerns
Like Tony Matheus (CCN 431), and many other residents, we are quite tired with the level of noise pollution caused by the light aircraft from Central Coast Airport at Warnervale. We…
Martin should step aside
Our local Member of the Legislative Council Taylor Martin has been expelled from the Liberal Party – the Party under whose banner he stood and which he was elected to…
Signs are up, but no roadworkers in sight
I think it is high time that Central Coast Council removed the roadworks signs on Peats Ridge Rd. These signs have been there for at least three weeks, with no…
Let’s shrink Council’s footprint
I add my voice to Bob Graham’s and support his call for a modification of Central Coast Council’s boundaries by shrinking Council’s overall footprint (CCN 433). This would make the…
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
Is Terrigal the wettest place on the Central Coast? As an old Bureau weatherman I’m always interested in the rainfall differences we experience across the Central Coast and on occasion…
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…
