Dear Editor,
My family and neighbours have given up in disgust. We no longer complain to the Matilda's Corner police about night noises, though we are subjected to excessively loud noises day and night.
Loud, raucous music, often accompanied by howling DJs, coming from locations within a stone's throw of the station, disturb residents in my neighbourhood for endless hours on far too many weekends, often from early Saturday afternoon to after 7:00 am on Sundays.
In an attempt to escape the noise, my children have tried sleeping underneath their beds or inside the kitchen. But those haven't worked as the noise penetrates everywhere. The sleep-deprived kids just end up in tears.
The noise comes mostly from Northside Plaza, sometimes from Chambers Lane. The worst offender by far is in Northside Plaza.
Excessively loud music and amplified shouting are regular emissions from events staged at Sts Peter and Paul Church mostly on Saturdays.
Despite complaints to the Matilda's Corner police, nothing changes. The police sometimes claim not to hear the noise others hear from miles away. As to Sts Peter and Paul, no one returns phone calls and no one in authority ever seems to be on the compound to address the Saturday disturbances.
