Letter to the Editor: City of Coffs Harbour’s grand plans for post-bypass highway

DEAR News Of The Area,

WELL we may have grand plans for the reinvigorated Coffs Harbour city precinct.

Unfortunately the foresight of bypass protestors has guaranteed that hundreds of trucks deemed too dangerous to travel through a tunnel can continue to daily rumble through our town centre within metres of shops, pedestrians, recreational facilities and schools.

No amount of trees on the side of the road can compensate for that debacle of decision making.

Regards,
Andrew SIMONS,
Sapphire Beach.
