Letter to the Editor: Listen to the people

DEAR News Of The Area,

I NOTE that Local Member Gurmesh Singh has been pre-selected by the Nationals to contest the 2027 State Elections (NOTA 20 Feb 2026).

I note also that Gurmesh stated that he would “listen to the people of the Coffs Coast and act in their best interests”.

Well it seems that he did not listen to the 33,161 residents who voiced their displeasure at the last local government elections in regard to the proposed Jetty Foreshores developments.

Of course Gurmesh could always change his stance but if he chooses not to, then he can be assured that 33,161 residents will not be placing a number one against his name on the 2027 ballot paper.

Regards

Jeff CLANCY,
Coffs Coast.
