Kelton Lane is the only alternate road in and out of Thirroul. If Lawrence Hargrave Drive floods because of the two creeks between George St and High St or in the event of a significant road accident, Northern Illawarra is cut off.
Mick Roberts of the Bulli Times (now defunct) put some articles in his paper, a petition of 150 local residents was collected, many submissions were sent, including my personal one ( as attached) and the Council relented.
