On Saturday night a 28-year-old man tragically lost his life on Fletcher Street, Tamarama, after he was hit by a car. It is an awful incident, and one that has caused pain to so many people. 

This is the second time a vehicle has lost control on the street.

Cars drive too quickly down Fletcher and therefore we must introduce speed bumps or speed restrictions before another fatal incident occurs. 

The current speed limit on Fletcher Street and surrounding streets is 50kph. The council have previously proposed changing this to 40kph, however nothing has been done.

Innocent lives shouldn't be lost when simple precautions can be put in place.
