For too long the city of eThekwini have been ignoring the plight of residents by allowing concerts to go on until the early hours of the morning at venues in the area. This includes Peoples Park and Curries Fountain. 

These events are allowed to violate the Nuisance bylaws with excessive noise far exceeding allowed and reasonable standards.

Calls to the City Manager and to the eThekwini Council to take steps to limit the impact of the noise and to not allow events to continue past midnight has been ignored by the city.

By signing this petition we are making it clear that this problem is impacting on a large number of people, of all backgrounds. It is affecting people's quality of life, and is a violation of the rights of people in the area.

We call on the City Manager and the eThekwini Council to enforce it's own bylaws regarding operating times for events and the laws on noise pollution. Residents are not against events being held, as these events potentially has a good impact in the city, but residents hereby demand that the city acts in a more reasonable manner when giving permission for these events.
