Purple Independent Candidate Sarah Pascoe Shows Support for Wollombi Road Upgrade

Sarah Pascoe, an Independent candidate for Ward B in the upcoming Cessnock Council elections, has voiced her strong support for the long-debated Wollombi Road upgrade. In a recent statement on Facebook, Pascoe emphasized the need to improve the road as Cessnock’s population continues to grow, citing concerns about safety, traffic congestion, and future infrastructure demands.

Pascoe, who has extensively researched the project, highlighted key facts, including the projected increase in traffic and the funding already secured through grants and developer contributions. She believes delaying the upgrade would only prolong challenges for the community.

While acknowledging the potential disruption to local businesses and residents during construction, Pascoe remains committed to working with those affected to minimize the impact. She sees the upgrade as crucial for the future growth and safety of Cessnock, and if elected, pledges to advocate for the community throughout the development process.

Pascoe’s stance reinforces her vision for a better Cessnock, with safer roads and stronger infrastructure to support the city’s ongoing expansion.
