Time for new government to act on local government

Both the Central Coast Council, and the NSW Office of Local Government, the State Government entity responsible for overseeing the performance of the council, are deliberately refusing to do their primary duties.

Whenever they spend taxpayer or ratepayer money on services or products or undertakings, they are supposed to demonstrate that what they are doing is providing value for money and is in the best interests of this Local Government Area.

What they do is supposed to be in the best interests of the majority of the people, the majority of the time.

Instead, what we get is delay, denial and deceit.

It is not for them to do what they please with public money and with public assets, infrastructure and responsibilities.

It is their duty to please the people in what they do.

The Perrottet government was voted out because they failed to please the people.

Now is the time for we the people to get active to call on our local representatives and the Minns' government to ensure that rather than pleasing themselves, Administrator Hart and the Office of Local Government start doing what is best for, and what pleases, the majority in this community.

Let's start with roads, drainage, footpaths, kerbing and vegetation, roadside rubbish (and weed) management. Then get local council elections done so that we and our elected councillors can discuss what other things we might be able to afford to do. Please...!
