LETTER – ‘What about residents’ right to peace and quiet?’

In a town where the rates have in some cases gone up by over 150% it is clear that the authorities are simply not interested in seeing to the well being of those who pay the exorbitant rates

SirĀ 
We would like to know how the municipality could allow an all-night party at the horse racing track on Saturday, through to Sunday?

I am sure money was exchanged and generated but what about the rights of residents?
The right to peace and quiet was cruelly disturbed for over 16 hours thanks to a man shouting into a mic, whose voice could be heard up to Boundary Road in town. In between, the thud-thud of beating music was also evident.

In a town where the rates have in some cases gone up by over 150% it is clear that the authorities are simply not interested in seeing to the well being of those who pay the exorbitant rates that make this municipality run.
Surely if you want an all-night party, consult with those who will be disturbed. Common decency. Sadly, in this village, the by-laws are just a suggestion.

Again, the infamous Coronation Park was a mess over the weekend with the first party moving in just after 6am on Sunday – remnants of the all-night party?

At one stage, it was disturbing to see a police vehicle among the many cars parked in Coronation Park on Sunday afternoon where a big party was on the go. The police, I must say, were not really clearing the area.
Perhaps they were invited guests?
My rates went up 120%
