Noise nuisance from Rum shop in Mon Repos

Oct 30, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

Recently I saw in one of the daily newspaper the commissioner of police visiting Leonora to deal with a case of excessive Noise nuisance from Rum shop in Mon Repos.

Even though I appreciate his intervention, is it really necessary for such a high ranking official to deal with the matter? Are the police at Leonora incompetent or powerless? Or have they been compromised?

I am writing this letter past 9 pm on a Monday. I reside at Mon Repos. Nearby there is the Naz and Safraz Rum shop/Car Wash blasting music(?) at ear shattering decibels. This has been going on for a long time now. This particular Salvo has been going on for the entire weekend and now into Monday. More often than not, the songs being played have the most expletive/vulgar lyrics. Do they have children, mothers, sisters, wives?

Can we make Guyana into a modern, developed country with such lawlessness taking place everywhere? What are the morals and values being instilled in our people?

My child has a class test tomorrow and just cannot concentrate on revising his work. The government is talking about how it is placing so much resources into education but with such nonsense/lewdness going on, how effective will their efforts be? No wonder Guyana’s children are performing so poorly in school. And this rum shop is just a few meters away from the new nursery school the government recently built. Can you imagine that?

No use putting on the TV to look at the news or anything else…you just cannot hear. Carrying on a conversation is out of the question. So is talking on the phone.

From talking to fellow villagers, they all, without exception, expressed their disgust and anger at the torture they have to endure from this establishment. All are being affected, whether babies, school children, working adults, the sick or elderly. All because of a few unruly, inconsiderate, selfish individuals.

I am appealing to the relevant authorities, on behalf of the residents in this area of Mon Repos, to please do something about this undesirable, unbearable situation.

This letter is a first course of action. If there is no abatement of the situation, then other lawful means will be taken.

Sincerely.

Fed up Guyanese.
