Hi All
I am not a big poster in the forum but I do follow a lot of the posts.
The reason for my post is I am feeling a bit devastated about elnino's plight with his neighbours, (posts from him are priceless and invaluable), and are now concerned about creating a show display that can become too "known". My neighbours at the moment a generally OK. I take Fasteddys words in his replies "if you build it they will come" and wonder where "if at all" do you stop, because the traffic that visited our house this year was nothing less than chaos and now that our house is "out there" next year is only going to get worse.
That means potentially I will create the vengeance of neighbours as suffered by elnino.
Just wonder how everyone else tackles this issue as i'm sure if I had a neighbour like elnino's I just would have had to ring the council and they would have been around putting the neighbour in their place. "Fair Dinkum blocking the street, WTF"

PS. This was my second year doing synchronised lights and for those interested I have posted videos of my display on youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8E2vEFyRPP5jV2ZMFIwh6e-g29uYRgpP or search "Burleigh XMAS Lights" on youtube.
This year we entered the Gold Coast City Christmas light competition which resulted in us coming third.
I did speak to our deputy mayor about the traffic issue at the presentation and she said they may look into traffic control this year, I assume you would have to be in the competition for this to happen.
