Residents say more needs to be done to stop hoons and Multanova speed cameras should be used on Marmion Avenue, Yanchep Beach Road and Two Rocks Road.

Daily, vehicles travel on these roads at least 20 or 30 k/ph over the speed limit. Overtaking on double white lines is a common occurrence, while hooning and driving dangerously occurs daily.

As one resident said: “There is a lot of hoon behaviour up here, someone is always leaving big tyre marks. Everyone knows the police hardly patrol this area, so they know they won’t get caught.”

A recent school zone speed blitz resulted in over 20 people being charged with speeding and other driving offences in just three days.

Another residents said: “It’s useless blitzing the area for three days, the police should be patrolling our street day and night.”

Several residents told the Sun City News that they rang or called into the Two Rocks police station last week and the station was closed for most of the week.

The Sun City News is aware of one incident where a resident wanted to report their concerns about a known drug identity, but the police didn’t even return the phone call.

With the population of Butler and Yanchep increasing daily, several residents are concerned the State Government has not planned for the need for a bigger and better managed WA police force.

The Clarkson police station was built about five years ago, yet it is still not open 24/7. The new Yanchep police station is supposed to be open by the end of August, this year.

Currently, the site is a cleared patch of sand with weeds growing through and no construction yet to commence.

The Sun City News has been told of three different completion dates - August, September and December 2010. Regardless of the completion date, extra police and a stronger presence is what concerns a growing population.
