Residents of Sea View, Stewartville, West Coast Demerara, have complained of illegal structures in their community that house shops which play loud music at nights and disturb the peace of the area.
They are calling on the authorities to address the issue. In a letter published in the January 16 edition of Stabroek News, a resident wrote that they wanted to draw the attention of the relevant authorities to the growing problem of illegal shops and noise pollution in the community.
The letter explained that a few residents have been trying to keep the environment cleaned of debris and bushes, not only for general hygiene purposes but also to beautify the community. However, they were disappointed to know that after the area was cleaned, illegal structures were erected on the roadside of the scheme, and one of shops would usually be “blasting” music all day, into the late nights.
