Permits are not being granted for events that are in residential areas or have received complaints in the past FROM Jamaicans.

Not everyone was happy with the booming bass, children could not sleep let alone their parents. And now with pets becoming more a part of the changing Jamaican landscape, they become scared during some of the really loud shows. Dogs may bark until the show is over. No one likes that.

I have been speaking with one of Negril's main promoters since these rumors started and he said some of these annual events will have to relocate and the promoters will need to make an effort during the upcoming busy season to prove they can run responsible shows. The onus is on the promoters.

He is as Jamaican as they come and did not see anything wrong with the enforcement of the existing laws.
