DEAR News Of The Area,

WHILST the most pressing need in Coffs Harbour was for an Entertainment Centre the ratepayers have been saddled with a huge debt for many years to come paying for a Civic Centre which should have been well down on the list of priorities.

The current Council Chambers were built to allow for further expansion for many years.

No mention is made of the costly fit outs.

As for a name change further unnecessary expenditure when our roads are absolutely appalling, rental accomodation at its worst, homelessness a big issue in our community.

Despite opposition the wishes of many are being totally ignored.

Does anybody care?

Sincerely,
Ann DEANS,
North Boambee Valley.
