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.
