Dear Editor,
It seems that the management of Movietowne in Turkeyen is incapable or unwilling to maintain order in the parking lot of their business.
What started out as one person playing music from their car occasionally, has evolved into a weekly occurrence of mayhem and lawlessness with several persons playing very loud music from their cars, every weekend, way past midnight.
This compounded with the motorcyclists with loud exhausts racing around and sports cars backfiring incessantly is causing extreme duress to residents who are living nearby. It should be noted that there are several signs posted around the parking lot stipulating no loud music, no speeding, no drag racing, but these go unchecked. It is unclear if any enforcement is being done.
This blatant disregard for rules and normalizing of bad behavior must stop. Movietowne as a private business, which is located in a residential/institutional zone. It is expected that part of their corporate social responsibility is to adhere with the requisite laws pertaining to loud noise especially when it is very disruptive to persons living nearby.
Perhaps this is a good time for Mr. Derek Chin, the owner of this establishment, to visit the premises at Turkeyen to experience the lawlessness that is taking place there every weekend. This does not happen in Trinidad, the home of MovieTowne, and should not be allowed to happen here in Guyana.
Sincerely,
Zorina Gafoor
Resident of Turkeyen
