Dear Editor,
On the night of March 1, the citizens of the residential community of Ravinia, directly behind Jamaica College, were subjected to loud music and noise blaring from an R&B concert being held on the grounds of the school. The loud music caused our windows to vibrate and left our households unable to sleep for many hours.
Functions held at the school's Karl Hendrickson Auditorium have not been a bother, whether they occur in the day or night, due to its distance from the community. However, the grounds of the school are now often being rented for night-time functions which are unbearable.
Jamaica College is clearly content with using their grounds as an entertainment venue, but is it all about making money? Does the school have no regard for the surrounding communities and the citizens therein? This is utter abuse of our rights and I hope this correspondence will draw some much-needed attention to this matter.
