The Pro­mot­ers As­so­ci­a­tion (TTPA) is ap­peal­ing to Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar to re­con­sid­er Gov­ern­ment’s re­cent de­ci­sion to ban fetes at the Bri­an Lara Crick­et Acad­e­my, Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um and the Jean Pierre Com­plex, warn­ing that the move threat­ens the 2026 Car­ni­val sea­son.

In a let­ter, TTPA pres­i­dent Robert Thomp­son urged Gov­ern­ment to al­low the planned events to pro­ceed with noise mit­i­ga­tion mea­sures in place. He al­so re­quest­ed di­a­logue with all stake­hold­ers to ex­plore long-term so­lu­tions to noise pol­lu­tion.

“It may be con­sid­ered rea­son­able for the Gov­ern­ment to per­mit the sta­tus quo to re­main with any ad­di­tion­al mea­sures, in­clud­ing those we have rec­om­mend­ed for the up­com­ing events in Car­ni­val 2026,” Thomp­son said.
