An Upper Corentyne, Berbice group formed in January has gathered 262 signatures for their petition for the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to appropriately deal with noise nuisance which they argue is a “serious public health issue.”
According to the group called Citizens Against Noise Nuisance, which is located at Corriverton, if the noise nuisance laws are enforced by the EPA and the GPF, there would be some level of control and abatement of the problem.
They are calling on the EPA and GPF to act on the laws currently in place, and for Parliament to put additional laws in place to deal with the problem of noise nuisance. Furthermore, they are asking that a special unit be established at each police station to specifically deal with noise nuisance reports.
