Sgt Simon Pugh
– NSW Police – advised that the owners of Nowra Truck and Tractor

Railway St and creating visibility issues for cars coming out of driveways
onto Railway St. As such, they support an extension of the no stopping zone from
the corner of Bolong Rd along Railway St.
It was further
suggested that there be no stopping signs on both sides of Railway St from

such changes this item will need to go out for further consultation.
