Tinonee Public School – Motorists must observe the Children Crossing flags and slow down to a stop if a pedestrian is on, or entering, the crossing. Failing to do so can result in the motorist receiving a fine up to $531.
Removal of swings – Locals may have noticed the swings in Horace Dean Park were removed, apparently without community consultation, by Mid Coast Council last Wednesday before 8am. This means no children’s play equipment in the area.
