Chain down bins

 

Fifty-seven business people on the Woy Woy Peninsula have asked Gosford Council for an immediate response to their petition to have the Council secure the garbage bins along West St and in cross streets of Umina.

Their demands are due to the internal steel bins being used to smash shopfronts because they are not chained to the base of their attractive surrounds.

It is understood that similar bins in the vicinity of Woy Woy rail station are chained down.

Criminal property damage and vandalism has business operators with their hands constantly in pockets supplementing an ineffective nighttime police presence on the Peninsula.
