Calls for more action on Rutley's Road following another fatality

BY TYLER FARDELL

Following the latest fatality along Rutley's road in Mannering Park, Swansea MP Yasmin Catley has called for more to be done to improve safety.

A 37 year old Wyee Point man became the third fatality in eight months on the dangerous road after his four-wheel drive collided with a truck.

It is also the ninth life lost on the road in as many years.

The road stretches for nine kilometres from Doyalson to Wyee and is split between Lake Macquarie City Council and Wyong Shire Council.

Both council's have spent millions of dollars on improving safety along the road, by Ms Catley says it's not working.

"There has been a large sum of money thrown at that road in the last couple of years. Clearly there needs to be more done there's no doubt about that".
