A PETITION has been started by Martin Meyer, Morningside ward councillor, to highlight the plight of residents who are affected by excessively loud music emanating from various City venues. uMgeni Park and Durban North residents once again took to Facebook to voice their anger at the loud music that blasts over the weekend. The City’s Health Department said it would be carrying out a noise assessment at Cuba Lounge following complaints from local residents.
“For too long the City has ignored the plight of our residents when it comes to noise pollution into the early hours of the mornings from venues like People’s Park and Curries Fountain. I, with the help of other councillors, including Nicole Graham (ward 33), Jethro Leferve (ward 31) and Shaun Ryley (ward 36) have been fighting this battle for years now.
“I will then call for a meeting with the City Manager, together with fellow councillors, representatives from the CPF, and community groups in the area where this petition will be presented to him and where we will demand action to be taken. To help me in this ongoing effort, I have now created an online petition for residents to sign, to give me more ammunition in this fight.”
