The police and the owners of the disco have some kind of arrangement

Jun 18, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is with great agony and distress that I write this letter. For far too long the noise nuisance in our village has been ignored by the police. The ‘Sweet Lips’ disco has been placing their sound system and speakers on the outside, i.e. the public domain, and turning the volume to unbearable levels.
Many times I have called on the Blairmont Police Station to lodge my complaint, but all I have been receiving are assurances that they will intervene when in fact they never show up on the scene and the music continues to be played with the same volume and pitch.
Other times when I call, the police rank answering the phone insist on me revealing my name and the location of my residence as soon as I start speaking about the noise nuisance. From the moment I mention the name of the disco they either hang the phone up on me or say that the disco will remove the music from outside the disco.
This obviously never materializes as promised and it certainly seems that the police and the owners of the disco have some kind of arrangement. Other times, I get that the patrol is at Weldaad Village and we have to be patient and wait. These excuses keep repeating themselves day after day, week after week.
Sir, it is near impossible for students to concentrate when studying, and my sick mother is brought to tears with the punishment the noise brings her. I am emailing you with the hope that something will be done to relieve the citizens of Section A and Section E D’Edward Village.
Angry resident
