Woy Woy off-ramp is needed

Cr Peter Freewater's comments regarding the off-ramp at Mt White to Woy Woy are some of the most outrageous words I have ever read.

Those commuters still come down Woy Woy Rd through one of the state's worst black spots and onto our Peninsula roads as they navigate to Empire Bay and Kincumber.

The only difference is it takes 30 to 40 minutes extra time and more fuel.

In this day and age of carbon emissions, any saving of petrol let alone time on fatigued F3 commuters along with less traffic on Woy Woy Rd can only lead to a better environment and more importantly less accidents.

Peninsula roads are already clogged in peak hour.

A Woy Woy on and off ramp will only help to save congestion and frustration at Kariong and lives.

This should have been done years ago and I am sure if it went to a public referendum the ramps would win in a landslide.

I was going to vote Labor but now I will definitely be voting Liberal if they are to pursue this most excellent and overdue venture.
