The noise of nice time cripples productivity

Editor: It is now approaching 10 pm of Monday 28th October, the day after we celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Independence, and we the residents of Arnos Vale who have had to endure the amplified noise over the last several days and nights continuously are questioning the rationale of the authorities in their obvious indifference to this lawlessness. How does this expression of indifference benefit our country? On the basis of this “exposition”, are our visitors impressed that we are an organized country whose leaders they can take seriously?

During his address at the Independence Parade at the Victoria Park, the Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves firmly stated that “Nice time and partying are not going to contribute to our development”. That is clearly logical, those thousands of persons who participated in that all night partying “Vigil” at Arnos Vale last Saturday night and going home at 7 am on Sunday could hardly have been satisfactorily productive over the next several days.

The bombardment of that continuous senseless noise, also impacts negatively the productivity of the residents of Arnos Vale.

The authorities should have by now seen the need to address these matters! Do we not have a Noise Act? Leadership should demonstrate maturity!
