ffs Lake Rd again. Every second week there's a crash or a spill. Sort it out council.

it proper dangerous. Hope the road crews get it sorted soon, poor drivers.

Diesel spill on a busy road? Bet that was a fun morning for the tradies trying to get to site. Hope no one got hurt.

The real issue is we've got no proper plan for these hazmat spills. Council's always playing catch-up.

my point. We're always reactive, never proactive. 🤷

I was walking past on the way to uni, looked like a skating rink but with cars. sketchy as

ooh look, another 'emergency' that takes hours to clean up. Meanwhile rates go up. Love this city.

Taylor Wright2026-06-18T22:47:26.000Z

nah bro council is useless, they'll blame at the driver and move on. no accountability

Drew Parker2026-06-18T22:27:26.000Z

does anyone know what caused it? truck leak or a crash? feel like we never get the full story
