The Ministry of Public Infrastructure has banned beach parties and other activities involving loud music on the Kingston Foreshore which stretches from aback Marriott Hotel to Police CID headquarters.
“Approvals will not be granted for the use of the Kingston Foreshore between Fort Groyne and Camp Street as a venue for entertainment, social and other events which are likely to generate noise above the permissible levels specified in guidelines for noise emission into the environment,” the ministry said in a notice published in Sunday’s newspapers.
The government’s decision to ban loud music on the Kingston Foreshore is part of an overall crackdown in noise pollution by bars, restaurants, music carts and other equipment that was announced last month by Public Security Minister, Khemraj Ramjattan.
