Dear Editor,

It’s a shame! Who give a licence to the organizers of the ‘lime’ on Rupert Craig highway, near Sheriff Street, to have a music set with huge speakers playing rowdy music on Easter Monday?  Good Friday and Easter Monday have special significance and Christians living in Subryanville and Bel Air Gardens must have been horrified at the way in which the holiday was being celebrated.

Their used to be a ‘lime’ in this area every Sunday night and it took great effort and determination to have the police deal with this as a noise nuisance and put a stop to it. Now the police have given them an inch and they will take a ‘yard.’ It will take another great effort on the part of residents in the affected areas to have the police clamp down on the exceedingly loud noise nuisance created.

The revellers will not know the significance of religious holidays but the police can be informed and this should be part of the training for officers of the Kitty Police Station and all police officers.

Every week we see a letter in the Stabroek News complaining of noise nuisance. Speakers have been removed from mini-buses, but rum shops are allowed to operate on roadways. Consumers are generally confused by the lack of uniformity in how the police deal with noise nuisance.

Yours faithfully,
Eileen Cox
