Dear Editor,
Three Mondays ago a letter was published asking those who play loud so-called music on the seawall at the Sunday Seawall Lime, which takes place from Clive Lloyd Drive and beyond, to desist. I need to add my request to the same effect. That writer had said that “the noise affects all of us who live in the Bel Air Gardens, Bel Air Springs and the Subryanville area. It can be heard as far away as Kitty.” One can imagine therefore the affliction of those living where I do, in First Avenue, Subryanville.
We anticipate every Sunday night with trepidation. We try to sleep, but that noise penetrates in the most maddening way. Even if one manages to drop to sleep at some point, it doesn’t leave you alone, but invades your subconscious and wakes you up all over again. It causes bad dreams too. I’m not joking. And every Monday I can expect only a certain jaded, listless feeling that remains throughout the day and affects my work output. The great Seawall Lime has really become a torture.
That’s not all. We can only hope that the entrances to our homes aren’t blocked during Sunday evenings. Our vehicle once had to remain outside all night, kind compliments of the person who parked in front of our entrance.
I appeal to the police to put a stop to this noise. It can’t be that hard to ban boom boxes and loud music from the seawall. Please, we need some help. And by the way, what may be the effects of those sets (and vendors) on our sea defence embankment?
Yours faithfully,
