Speed Humps for Delamere and Walhallow Streets, Hawker

Over the past three years, I have written to ministers four times to ask that something be done about the dangerous driving reported by residents living in and near Delamere and Walhallow Streets, Hawker. Problems include speeding, burnouts, drag racing, cars losing control and smashing into private fences, and mostly recently a car crashing into the public changeroom, destroying the wall. Despite empty assurances from the Minister for Policing, nothing has changed.

In the Assembly today, I called on the ACT Government to finally respond to residents’ concerns and to honour their reasonable requests for traffic calming measures and increased police patrols. To date, they have seen no evidence that this government cares for their safety or peace of mind.
