ON Tuesday 22 June, 2010, 16:00 h a meeting was held at the Number 65 Primary School Corentyne, Berbice by Mr Rohee.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss problems with residents.
One citizen complained about loud music from wedding houses which lasts for four days and four nights.
Mr. Rohee said that’s a tradition thing, and one can play music for as long and as loud as they desire.
If it’s so then why persons need to apply for a permit? I would like Mr. Rohee to make that said statement to the media.
I am a sick and working parent and suffer a lot from loud noise. It seems that no one cares about senior citizens, the sick, working parents, students and law abiding citizens.
Under sub section (1) of section 174A of the summary jurisdiction (office) Act as amended by Act No 1 of 1989 states the following: “No person shall, in any road, street, public place or land or in building or premises by operation or causing or suffering to be operated any stereo set, juke box, radio, wireless loudspeaker, gramophone, amplifier, automatic piano or similar instrument of music or by any other means whatsoever, make or cause or suffer to be make any noise which shall be so loud and so continuous or repetitive as to cause a nuisance to occupants of any premises in the neighbourhood”.
