Woodbrook residents living near the Hasely Crawford Stadium and the Jean Pierre Complex are questioning Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s decision to ban fetes at those sporting facilities.
Carl Ahyee, 82, who spent the last 40 years living alone on Ana and De Verteuil streets, said he has grown accustomed to the noise, so it no longer affects him.
“How long Carnival is, and our body, our brains, our whatever, now that we’re older, we get used to it. And that is our economy that is bringing money into the country, so what she wants us to do is stop Carnival,” he said.
