Dear Editor,

I noted the interim injunction preventing the show at the Starlite Drive-in from making excessive noise between the hours of 10 pm on Saturday, May 2 and 2.30 am on Sunday, May 3. Nevertheless, the show proceeded into the wee hours of Sunday morning. From advertisements in the media, we are also expecting another assault on May 16!

How long must residents endure this unfairness?

This venue was not intended for the purpose for which it is currently being used. If so, I’m almost certain that it would not have been erected in close proximity to residential communities.

The staging of these concerts at this venue, despite the protest of the residents, gives a feeling of hopelessness about the law. If the authorities do not act on our behalf, who will?

I observed with much alarm, that some people were taking young children to the show. As disheartening as that was, however, that was their choice.

On the other hand, there are those of us who prefer to not have our children exposed to such vulgarity.  By hosting such shows at this inappropriate venue, the promoter is forcing content into our homes that would otherwise not make its way there.

I wish to emphasize that it is totally unfair for some promoter to be profiting from the discomfort of so many people, and implore the authorities to put an end to this lawlessness.

Some of us couldn’t care less why Radika left!

Yours faithfully,
Vanessa Devonish
