I live in the lower part of Petit Valley. For several days we have been terrorised by fireworks and/or "bussin" bamboo coming from the hillside opposite. It is now 1.40 am and the sound of heavy artillery is still shattering the peace and tranquility of the night. This is Christmas Night!
I have reported the matter to the police twice. On the first occasion, on the morning of the 24th, the officer reported that he had heard the noise and had dispatched a car to investigate. The valley was quiet until about 6 pm when the noise started again.It was Christmas eve and we were preparing to go to Mass but the background sounds resembled the Syrian civil war. My dogs were hovering about my ankles for protection.
Reporting it again provoked an irate response from the policewoman who said she could not hear anything.This level of noise is not entertainment and it is inappropriate during the Christmas season, and I strongly object to it. I should be interested to know what other people think of this menace and what we can do about it.
