DEAR News Of The Area,

I WOULD like to take issue with recent letters referring to the Coffs Harbour Bypass and the effects it will have on a very small section of Grandpa’s Scrub.

I would like to know where these letter writers have been since 2019.

As a member of the Community Consultative Committee since its inception in 2019, I represented the residents on the Eastern side of the highway.

In all my time on that Committee and in all the opportunities given to the Public, there has never been any mention of ‘Grandpa’s Scrub’ until very recently.

What’s the deal?

Is it because an election is coming up?

Because most of us just want to get on with our bypass and set our city free of those traffic jams!

Regards,
Barbara DAVIS,
Coffs Harbour.
