Centre should be for Woy Woy people

 

Now the new community centre at Woy Woy is open, it should be for the people of Woy Woy.

Ettalong has the Senior Citizens, Umina a community centre.

We want something that people don't have to travel to.

Older men and women like to go somewhere where there's something on through the week as well as on the weekends, as do especially singles, younger men that can't work, or the sick and disabled.

It's a lonely life for a lot of us.

Why not have a couple of rooms open so we can play pool, cards, darts and different games.

The younger kids have play centres galore, and the younger boys have the fitness centre at Umina.

So give the older people and others a chance.

On another matter, we of the Peninsula want to know why we have to pay more fares than Gosford and Sydney.

From Sydney to Newcastle, it costs $3.30, yet from Woy Woy to Newcastle it costs the same.

I have written to Jim Loyd, Chris Hartcher and even Bob Carr about it, and all you get back is that you'll hear from Carl Scully.

Then when you hear from him, it's the same old thing.

You're in the circle.

Why do politicians pass it on to others?

It seems like they couldn't care less about the people or the principle.

Mrs M McMahon, Woy Woy
