INSTEAD of a ban from certain venues, popular promoter Randy Glasgow said his colleagues should be allowed to pay a bond, which would be forfeited if noise pollution laws are broken while hosting events.

His suggestion follows the announcement that fetes and Carnival activities will no longer be allowed at all Udecott-controlled facilities, including the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba and the International Waterfront in Port of Spain.

Glasgow said if noise levels at the fetes exceed what is legal, this money could go to affected residents associations, he said.
