The law must also be extended to private sources of noise nuisance

Aug 15, 2008 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Now at last, after years of complaints, the Government has decided to ban the playing of music in public transport.

To me the only defect in the law now is that it does not provide for the confiscation and destruction of the musical instrument found to be breaking the law.

Let us now hope for the constant monitoring of the law and swift and condign punishment of the offenders.
Mr. Editor, one must now turn to those private parties who either in their homes or private vehicles continue to play loudly and continuously to the annoyance of others.

In this regard special attention must be paid to places of worship which now use microphones to get out there message and particularly to those having ceremonies, where those responsible seem to think that because they are having a wedding that they have the right to use the loudest music system that they can lay hands on and then to bombard the entire surroundings from day-clean to the wee hours of morning, for days on end, regardless.

Mr. Editor, it is high time that people come to realise that living in a civilised society means that one must conduct one’s self in such a manner as not to annoy your neighbour.
Randolph Joseph Eleazar
