Yes, Herbie and I have pushed for this before.
Large trucks should not be permitted to park overnight in residential areas.
No semi-trailers, no prime movers, and no rigid trucks over 8 tonne.
Have council depots for the trucks, in light industrial areas.
Thank you Gregg ~ we have our differences but on this one and the appalling state of our commercial news services we are in heated agreement.
My RAGE is not hypothetical ~ I lived for years with the disappointment of returning home from work to my own residential property only to be confronted by the unedifying sight of a blue-singleted hairy Neanderthal clambering over his huge truck parked outside his home. And then this arsehole had his truck's refrigeration unit running noisily for hours in the evening.
He used to strut around like peacock.
I personally would have 'gulaged' him to make him more humble and respectful of the people who had to share this residential street with him.
I once wrote to the Daily Telegraph's Letters Page on this subject, and received a flood of sympathetic replies.
Large industrial equipment such as trucks should not be parked in the quiet residential streets where we worked hard for years to buy our homes.
