DEAR News Of The Area,
I AM a long time resident of the Bay area, also a very keen fisherman.
I have always enjoyed fishing the breakwall at Nelson Bay.
Just recently I was told to move over by a rider on a fat-tyred electric bike.
Just this week I saw a young mum pushing her baby in a pram, having to go almost onto the rocks because of an electric bike coming at her at speed.
Last weekend we were at Sandpipers for lunch, when two young people came up the footpath at speed, the second one clipping the tables on the footpath at the restaurant next door.
Surely it is time for the government, Council or Police to ban the use of these bikes in the narrow breakwall area as well as in all shopping centre streets.
Regards,
Don,
Nelson Bay.
