Dear Editor,
As I continue to battle for my health where noise abuse continues to be the order of the day on both Sheriff and Seaforth Streets, I wish to expose two recent acts of this cruelty.
There is one offender in particular, who by his actions gives a clear indication that he has powerful connections.
At 2 am on Tuesday, June 17, 2014,1 was disturbed from my rest. I went out to remind the offender who was parked in front of my residence of the time and also asked him to turn the music down. This was not done, and he then removed the vehicle to a supermarket area (name supplied), which has become the noise abuse place and drinking spot at any hour of the morning for some time now, and where he continued with this brutal assault. The vehicle is black in colour (number given) and was a 4×4.
On Sunday, June 15 at approximately 2.20 in the morning, a minibus (number given) pulled in at the supermarket and a drinking spree began. When approached and asked to turn the music down one of the offenders claimed he was on the road and was within his rights, so the music continued regardless.
Shortly before the arrival of the bus, a black and silver car pulled in at the supermarket at 2am.
Editor, it was like this man was just being spiteful; the music blasted off suddenly awakening everyone from their rest. The person left shortly after, and before a patrol that was summoned arrived.
It is a trend: the noise stops for a while whenever one speaks out, and then it is business as usual.
I am calling on the authority to do something about this troubling development at the supermarket at those unearthly hours of the mornings; these people bring their liquor, drink, speak loudly and cruelly disturb people without a care.
Our very young schoolchildren are being continuously exposed to this danger and it seems as though nothing really serious is being done to curb it. And there is no cut-off point for the big ones.
Yours faithfully,
P Lewis
