La Plataforma Contra el Ruido de Arrecife has called on the Arrecife mayor, and all political parties with municipal representation, to find a solution to the all-day concerts that cause noise pollution and disturbances for its residents.
La Plataforma Contra el Ruido de Arrecife (The Platform Against Noise in Arrecife) claim that Arrecife Ayuntamiento is violating legislation on noise pollution and organising “disproportionate and inconsiderate” activities.
“It [the concerts] are not compatible with the right to rest, with 11 hours of loud music,” the platform stresses, recalling that those living in nearby properties include infants, the elderly, the sick and workers who can not escape the noise.
Additionally, the platforms have criticised other issues such as the collective noise of traffic, terraces, cleaning trucks and others that turn the city “into a noise hell.”
The platform demands that political forces “comply with the law” and look for solutions to local events without disturbing the population. “It is not enough to move the problem from one neighborhood to another”, the platform explains.
“We want a friendly city, not a party theme park”, they added.
