All listening to Annie |
The residents’ main
complaints were :-
1) that the bistro is
open right till early part of the
morning and is terribly loud and noisy
2) that due
indiscriminate parking of cars , it continues to hamper the free flow and
parking of the residents.
My secretaries Chong
Chee Keen and Jeremy helped in getting
in touch with the Hotel and Bistro operators to come for the 11
am meeting today.
In a face to face
discussion held yesterday , the residents poured out their anger and frustration on the
entertainment operator Raymond. Raymond said he had complied with the law
and so on. Annie the main spoke person for the residents said she wanted
intervention and assistance from me to resolve this matter.
I said the
issue of abuse of license provisions , parking and enforcement rests with the
local council and the local councillor should be the one handling these issues.
But the BN appointed councillors are missing.
We have always wanted
local councillors to be elected so that they are more accountable.
The Bistro operator
agreed to lower down the noise level and the hotel operator will ensure no cars
of customers will be indiscriminately
parked on the residents access road.
In the mean time, DAP Ipoh Barat will arrange for a meeting
between the local council administrators and the residents with the business
operators to find a long term solution.
YB BN Councillor is in holiday and no time to see or listen to this kind of matter that is why we need a change jom ubah bye to BN.
