Lisarow station rates an F, says Labor candidate

LISAROW railway station is a “pig sty” and in need of urgent maintenance.

The Entrance State Labor candidate David Mehan said the station was a “disgrace”.

“I’ve spent the past week visiting all the state rail stations in The Entrance electorate and can confidently say that Lisarow station is a disgrace,” he said,

“We need to encourage greater useage of public transport.

“Lisarow station can only discourage in its condition.”

He said when he visited the station the railings were broken and dangerous, there was an abandoned car, overgrown vegetation which blocked car parking access and rubbish strewn everywhere.

He said he would contact Transport Minister John Robertson, who was also the Central Coast Minister, in a bid to get the station cleaned up.

While Lisarow rated an F, Mr Mehan praised the recent upgrade of Ourimbah railway station.

“Our stations are pretty good and the recent upgrading of Ourimbah has been well received,” he said. “I note that extra parking is needed at Narara and I’ll also be raising this with the minister.”
