The Government says it will encourage nightclubs and bars to reduce noise nuisance by supporting soundproofing investments. President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali says entertainment businesses may soon be able to access financing through the Guyana Development Bank (GDB) to purchase noise-proofing materials. The comments come as communities continue to report problems linked to loud entertainment venues.
At a press conference at the Office of the President on Tuesday, Ali acknowledges the complaints and frames the initiative as a way to address noise concerns while allowing businesses to continue operating. Both outlets describe the same core approach: using government-backed funding to help venue owners implement noise control measures. The coverage focuses primarily on the policy direction and the proposed financing mechanism, rather than specifying timelines, eligibility criteria, or enforcement steps.
Overall, the two reports align on the Government’s intent to tackle noise nuisance through soundproofing support, with President Ali presenting the plan as a response to community feedback.
