DEAR News Of The Area,

IAN Hogbin was “spot on” with his letter criticising the State Government for locking out at all times the public from using the small recreation area across the road from Jetty High School.

The undercover basketball court recently built had proved very popular with families and other users of the courts during out-of-school hours.

Unfortunately, I guess Coffs Harbour residents will have to get used to being permanently locked out from more of the Jetty area when building sites east of the railway line are sold off by the NSW Dept of Planning and Environment to developers for residential buildings.

Regards,
Lionel GOODACRE,
Coffs Harbour.
