Council to consider re-opening beach car parks
Subscriber only
THE council will today consider re-opening beach car parks and roads in the Tweed or extending the closures, possibly until the end of June.
In April, Tweed Shire Council closed council-owned beach car parks and roads in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The vote also included re-opening a section of car parks in Kingscliff for easier access to local businesses including a doctor's practice, chemist and physiotherapist.

Letitia Rd in Fingal Head has already been approved for temporary closure until 30 June, 2020.
Today, Tweed councillors will consider three options put forward by officers; extending all closures until June 30, extending the closures until an unspecified date before June 30 or to re-open all closed car parks and roads, except Letitia Rd.
Earlier this week Tweed Mayor Katie Milne said she was yet to receive advice on when the border would re-open.
The meeting is due to start after the Planning Commitee meeting at 3pm.
