People using these apps for food delivery are fat and lazy. Walk to the shops and buy healthy food instead!

I’m guessing you’re in fairly good shape physically & mentally, Jocky, so don’t really ‘get’ what it is like for those who are invalided or suffer agoraphobic panic attacks. I hope you never do, but if you ever did you might be a little more tolerant of other peoples’ lifestyles.

Just found this article on Manna Drones,
Residents in Blanchardstown and other areas have expressed significant concerns over [Manna drone] services, focusing on privacy issues, noise pollution, and safety fears from low-flying drones, but also facing inadequate regulatory frameworks for this burgeoning industry. Manna’s expansion plans highlight the tension between technological innovation and community interests, with calls for clearer regulations and the establishment of exclusion zones to address these issues.
Privacy and Noise Concerns
- Noise Intrusion:Residents, particularly in areas like Blanchardstown Broadway and the Griffith Avenue & District Residents Association, have lodged complaints about the constant noise from Manna’s drones.
- Privacy:Drones raise general privacy concerns, with the potential for capturing footage or being used to hack other electronic devices, although specific incidents involving Manna drones are not detailed in the provided snippets.
Safety Concerns
- Falling Drones:A major safety concern is the possibility of jammed drones falling from the sky posing a risk to people and property below.
- Regulatory Vacuum:The rapid expansion of the drone delivery sector is outstripping the development of clear regulations, leaving a regulatory gap that needs to be addressed.
Community Opposition and Action
- Increased Complaints:A public call for action resulted in a doubling of complaints within a week, demonstrating the high level of resident concern.
- Petitions and Meetings:A petition calling for government regulation of commercial drone delivery has garnered substantial support, while residents’ associations have organized meetings with Manna to discuss solutions and establish exclusion zones.
Manna’s Perspective and Regulatory Challenges
- Community Support:Manna claims to have support from a significant number of local residents and has even received support from businesses that benefit from increased custom via the drone service.
- Need for Clear Frameworks:Manna’s case highlights the need for regulators to establish clearer frameworks balancing technological innovation with community interests and needs.
Trees. Overhead cables. Wind. Confined space landing sites. Washing lines. Flats. The delivery cable hanging loose once the customer has detached the item and wrapping itself around stuff, potentially including the customer.
