Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has or­dered an im­me­di­ate stop to all fetes at the Bri­an Lara Sta­di­um, cit­ing per­sis­tent com­plaints from near­by res­i­dents about ex­ces­sive noise.

In a post on X, the Prime Min­is­ter said noise pol­lu­tion had be­come “un­bear­able” for those liv­ing in the area. “Noise pol­lu­tion is a nui­sance. I in­struct­ed that all fetes at the Bri­an Lara Sta­di­um be stopped as the noise has be­come un­bear­able for res­i­dents,” she said.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar said her Gov­ern­ment re­mains com­mit­ted to tack­ling the long­stand­ing is­sue of noise pol­lu­tion and its ef­fects on com­mu­ni­ties, not­ing that the prob­lem has been “ig­nored for far too long.”
