Despite our complaints, Charity police taking no action to curb this noise nuisance

Dec 17, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
There is an ongoing noise nuisance of music emanating from a business place used as a hotel and bar that affects me and many others at Charity, and which is located in close proximity to the police station there.
Some measure of respect and relief to the abominable situation is only shown on Mondays during the period of sitting of the Magistrates’ court located on the other side of the public road.
It could be verified at the station that several reports were made there and statements taken from the affected persons all of whom expressed the desire for the perpetrator to be placed before the court.
All of us have indicated our willingness to attend court to give the evidence, but for some reason best known to the police, this line of action is not being taken in the best interest of justice
Quite manifestly, the neglect by the police to let the culprit face prosecution, which is the only way to serve as a deterrent is extremely baffling. The evidence needed by the police to institute prosecution is overwhelming and it should be seen not as a favour but a duty to do so.
The discomfort being endured from the unbearable noise nuisance is not easy at all, with the police being the only source to whom those affected can turn to for protection.
The police rank in charge of this station is clearly demonstrating from his lack of interest or concern that no court action will ever be taken against the perpetrator with him usurping the functions of the D.P.P and making it even more frustrating for victims to provide further reports and statements.
The same officer even advised me to meet the Divisional Commander at his office, which I did, only to learn that he received information that some ranks visited my location while the music was on and from their observation, it did not measure up to a nuisance.
No rank ever visited my location and here again, this is yet another presumptuous “cover-up” ever so detrimental to the society.
Money is well known to be a powerful influence and could it be that its use is responsible for the course of justice to be defeated here?
Some form of positive action will have to be taken for this nuisance to be abated once and for all with the earlier the better
