So far in this year of various travails, the biggest complaint I am hearing from my guests on a constant basis is the endless noise of motorbikes. I hope you guys roaring up & down the roads from 5:30a.m. till late in the evening are not dependent on tourism, or have no one in your family who is dependent on tourism, as you are one of the major liabilities of Treasure Beach these days.

Noise is a definite liability when tourism is a source of income. The all inclusives are eating up the dollars because they offer more peace and quiet, music not blaring, no sports park noise at midnight, etc.

We bear the stressful sound of agricultural poisons being sprayed and breath their delivery in Great Bay and other places.

Why is this being encouraged by RADA and ignored by the Parish Council?

Neither locals or visitors should be subjected to this, anywhere.

No I will not let it go.

I agree. We can try to avoid the noise, with earplugs...but we can't stop breathing. the bees, butterflies, birds, all suffer when poisons are used.

I am not sure what the people of Treasure Beach would like the young people to do. Saturday night to play some music in the sports park and that is a problem! There are no only us tourist in Treasure Beach there are actually young people that also lives here and need some type of entertainment. The time we take to sit and bitch and complain about everything we could get out and socialize. I am sick and tired of all the complaints in Treasure Beach. I believe when tourist comes here it's not to sleep, it's to party and have fun.

I am sure there are people living in Negril, it has thousands of Tourist all the time.That place does not sleep, why is it every thing is Treasure is such a problem, and we have lowest amount of visiting tourist across the Island.

People search yourself and figure out what the problem is. I am sick and tired of the complaining from the educated and the non educated! Can't we all get along. The time we take to complain about the music we would form a group and get the garbage off the streets.

St. Elizabeth is the bread basket of Jamaica! they are going to use chemical. So ban it then... everyone is just complaining. complaining... the natives are leaving! and the tourist are not coming.

People need their sleep, the sports park is a good thing, but it should not be used to keep noisy dances. This also attract undesirable elements into the community. The whole idea of Treasure Beach is being ruined. I don't believe the people of Treasure Beach want another Negril.
You don't sound like a visitor.

Aye, see no evil, hear no evil, see no evil. Just whine the time away in our poisoned breadbasket.

Right, see, hear and speak.

I'm not complaining, I'm registering a warning.

The volumes of agricultural poisons being used will manifest their harmful actions over time. Not all chemicals degrade rapidly.

Chronic illnesses, reduction of wildlife including bees, carried by underground water to the sea.

Who will take responsibility for this?

Noise and poisoned air in the home of community tourism? Forget ecotourism.

I am a visitor! I have been coming to Treasure Beach for the last 35 years.We all just need to work with each other. In the next couple weeks I will be gone again to North America. The people of Treasure Beach lives will need to go on. Get out and support the events in the park! what you might think of the management is a different story. The children are precious! I want to see them succeed!
Love Treasure Beach!

We are lucky, we hear nothing, but for this we have a very noisy neighbor, constant barking dogs, chaine saw, hammer, slash hammer, drumming, loud music, you name it, this I call noise, sportpark should be limited to 10pm, nobody would complain!
The other big events, where you can not talk, only you have a louder speakers, that is the problem! This events should be limited by midnight, and only 6 a year in total, for all venues! Not each venue, that means we have new year, and every 2 month noise, think this is ok,
