tidy.

So what about also banning filthy great trucks that owner/drivers bring back home with them?

How about they also police their garbage contractors who spill rubbish & leave it lay there & then knock bins over?

Provide Council parking spaces for them.

It's exactly like designated bus depots where ex-police act as security. How do you think bus drivers get home after work?

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.

fining ratepayers....noice... typical Qld though   

how about the ratepayers fine the council for allowing their homes to get flooded every time it rains

The local council wouldn't use them for their own trucks.

Lord Herbert wrote on Mar 25^th, 2018 at 12:18pm:


Yes, the refrigeration units.

I had a similar problem once.

These truck drivers really are the most inconsiderate bastards.

You wouldn't know what's typically QLD.

Not living here & all

How about you come up with something you have a clue about?

How about people do some research prior & take some responsibility for where they choose to live?

Not everywhere gets flooded out.

HOLD it right there, Bucko!

I'm talking about owner~drivers and not those who drive for private companies that have their own depots and car parks.

The arsehole up the road from me (since left) worked for a company only a ten minute drive from here where it had a big depot, but this smartalec came to an arrangement with the company that he could take it home at the end of the day just like a family car - so long as he did all the greasing and mechanical maintenance on it.

A sweet deal, but not for us neighbours.

Yeah someone explained that in a subsequent post. Thing is I have been annoyed by trucks parked in suburban settings too over the years. I thought they didnt have a choice. Also I used to live next door to someone that rode a harley on weekends (at 7am!).

I understand your ‘Toughen up Australia!’ attitude on this being a matter only of concern to pretentious wankers who live out in the cheaper suburbs but who feel there is no reason why the privileged conditions and residential advantages of living in the leafy North Shore suburbs shouldn’t also be enjoyed by the good and decent folk living in places such as Mt Druitt and St Mary’s.

The Working Class generations of today have moved a lot further on from their grandfather’s time when standards of living were rough and fairly basic to how they are today.

I worked all my life among noisy machinery while wearing noise reduction ear-plugs by order of the Industrial insurance companies and the unions, and what me and my workmates felt we deserved at the end of the day was to go home to hearth-and-home in a street that looked visibly ‘residential’ and not one dominated by large hulks of vehicular industrial machinery.

But I do have some sympathy for your attitude that some of us might be too intolerant of these seemingly minor inconveniences.

That crap about giving ppl 24 hours to take their bin in is a bit much. I know ppl that work long hours and if their rubbish hasnt been picked up when they leave they dont want to come home to a fine.

If you leave at 8am in the morning and your rubbish has not been picked up yet, getting home at 4 to 6pm at night should keep you within the 24 hour period by a good 12 hours.
