Residents of 3rd Avenue, Eccles, East Bank Demerara, are urgently calling on the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) to investigate a bar that has been constantly disturbing the tranquility of their residential neighbourhood. The disturbance, they say, persists daily, starting at 2 pm and extending into the late hours of the night, causing them great distress.
In a formal petition submitted to the GRA, several residents expressed their grievances. These include severe traffic congestion, distressing incidents of indecent exposure by bar patrons resorting to public areas, such as road corners and residents’ fences, to relieve themselves. Further, the residents have voiced their distress over the alarming sound of gunshots that erupt during bar brawls.
