Should there be a ban on heavy truck and trailer units in the city?
A local couple say the number of heavy vehicles travelling inside the city zone is dangerous and compromising the health and safety of residents. Can you relate?
Their home is close to the uncontrolled intersection on Porowini Ave - where there has been three serious accidents inside a five week period including a man on a mobility scooter who was hospitalised for a number of weeks. Have you noticed the same thing in your suburb? Do heavy vehicles use your street to travel on? What do you think should be done about the issue?


Poll: Is street parking fair game?
Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.
Do you think it is inconsiderate to park directly outside a neighbour's house on the road? Or do you think street parking is fair game?
