Noise Nuisance at the K&K Service Station

Jun 14, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
I wish to highlight a disturbing situation in my neighborhood that has been happening for months now every single weekend. I am sick and tired of the lawlessness. For long now we have been making countless reports to the Mahaica Police Station and the Cove and John Police Station about the noise nuisance at the K&K SERVICE STATION, located at Unity Village, East Coast Demerara. No action has been taken to this day.
The Police at the Mahaica Station are very rude on the phone and take your report as a joke. The majority of the time they slam the phone down on your calls and they always say that they never have patrol vehicles available.
Sometimes they say that they are sending the patrols and the patrols never reach. But the music continues until 2am.
Why must we to suffer and have our rights violated by having sleepless nights with loud, continuous and repetitive playing of irritating lawless (cursing) music from these vehicles that are parked on the K&K Service Station premises.
I have been a resident in my areas for over 40 years and such nonsense never occurred in the past. It’s very disturbing and embarrassing to have my children and grandchildren around and to listen to these lawless, vulgar music.
Why can’t we enjoy the peace and comfort of our homes listening to our radio and television rather than to have the zinc on our roof tops vibrating? This nonsense must stop; we must be able to live in peace in our neighbourhood.
These people are selling alcohols also and driver abuse them and play their music very loud and sound clashing with other vehicles that are there. Alcohol is sold to underaged children and the vendors are allowed to get away with it. It’s a sickening sight to look over and see how our youths abuse alcohol and tobacco. What kind of future are setting for our children?
The Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee stated on the 29th May 2013, that he will assure that laws will be applied where necessary and that it is the responsibility of the Guyana Police Force to enforce the laws against noise nuisance, particularly when reports are made at the police stations. I hope that some sort of action can be taken in consideration of this complaint.
Affected Resident
