Over the years many people have complained about how dangerous the intersection at Longueville Road and Epping Road is for pedestrians. This week a 60-year-old woman was involved in a motor vehicle-pedestrian accident at this intersection. Emergency Services were in attendance. NSW Ambulance advised ITC the pedestrian was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital in a stable condition. She was conscious and breathing and had suffered injuries to her head and shoulder.

Business Alert
We are pleased to announce a completely different type of business will be relocating to the store next to the Longueville Lane Cove. The former Smart Bargains store will be completely transformed and will now be the home of Rain Bridalwear. As you probably know it’s good luck for it to rain on your wedding day. That is why the store is called Rain Bridalwear. ITC spoke to Jon (one of the owners), and he said he couldn’t wait to fit out the store and open in Lane Cove as all the locals he has met so far have been wonderful. By the Way, it rained on ITC’s wedding day, and ITC and Mr ITC are still together!!

It’s time to check your dinghy registration!

Any dinghy stored along any of Council’s public foreshore areas must be registered with Council or risk being impounded. Registration is free – owners simply need to complete the Dinghy Tag Application Form at www.lanecove.nsw.gov.au/boating. Registered dinghies will receive a tag to place on their vessel.
2020 Has Been A Tough Year
In 2020, many of us have realised that looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our physical health. There is no longer a stigma attached to seeking mental health support, and it’s okay to put your hand up and say ‘I need help’.
Ramsay Psychology St Leonards has opened a purpose-built Mental Health practice with eight experienced psychologists under the one roof. These experienced and trusted psychologists provide therapy sessions for individuals (children, teenagers and adults), couples and families, to assist through life’s many challenges. Read More here.

When you buy fresh trees, you are supporting regional NSW farmers who have suffered drought and fire. The farm which always provides the Tambourine Bay Scout trees was particularly hit hard this year. Read More Here.
