Speed humps for King St

Speed humps and raised platforms in the laneway behind King St, Umina Beach, has been listed for consideration in Gosford Council's Traffic Facilities Program for the next financial year.

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews contacted council on behalf of a local resident who was concerned about speeding in the laneway.

The resident alleged that two cars were speeding around and around the laneway recently and one of them lost control and almost collided with her house.

According to the resident, the laneway joins King St at two points and she feels that bollards at one end would prevent it being used as a thoroughfare and would alleviate the problem.

Council Officers investigated the laneway and stated that they felt that speed humps/raised platforms would be "a more appropriate treatment for this problem".
