TRUCKS SHAKING HOUSES
So who like us has had a gutsful of trucks rattling past your houses and shaking your houses. Apparently Council cannot tell truckies what roads they cannot use and cannot put No Heavy truck signs up to stop this. We live on Breezes Road Avondale and there has been a steady influx of trucks past our house over the last few months. Our house rattles and everything in cupboards etc shake , rattle, and roll. Our doors in our house are starting to stick which means they are damaging the house. All i have had from Council is oh we will send someone out to check vibrations. It is because he roads have not been fixed adequately and it seems Council dosnt care. In the Community profile for the Avondale/Dallington area dated Nov 2014 it states The focus is repair of the fresh water and storm water systems and roads. That is four years ago and nothing has been done. We pay our rates but have no promised work done and it seems Council have no clout to stop these trucks. So i ask what is the answer??

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
