Hutt City Councillor Simon Edwards lives in Belmont, Lower Hutt and heard a thud when a pedestrian was hit by a car last week. (File photo) Some residents described seeing cars travelling along Grounsell Cres, a residential street with a 50kph limit, at about 80kph. Edwards wanted to see red light cameras installed at the SH2 intersections with the Melling and Kennedy Good bridges and the speed limit lowered to 80kph.
