TRUCKS SHAKING HOUSES

Jude from Avondale

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??

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

An internal email from BP's head office has exposed the petrol industry's pricing behaviour. It revealed a novel tactical plan: raise prices in the Levin, Kāpiti and Paraparaumu areas, and hope that its major rivals responded by doing the same. To find out more, click here.

She became their mother figure ensuring they did well at school etc. Last Friday evening there was a follow up to the story when Tim revisited the family to give them a voucher for free dental care, a $1000.00 pampering voucher for Jesse, a free days outing at Rainbows End, another $2000.00 contribution from an individual and a dining table to seat the whole family from Big Save Furniture. Whereas these few gestures were great I was really surprised that many more people didn't decide to also contribute. I have subsequently contacted Tim (Seven Sharp) by email and he rang me this morning to talk further and he is willing to facilitate any further help or donations of money or kind for this amazing family.
I will be interested to hear what others think and will be particularly keen to hear of any suggestions to help this family like creating a Give-a-little page, although I think other gestures could be more appropriate and worthwhile.
What do you think ?
