In response to the recent ban on Carnival activities at Udecott-controlled venues, including the Brian Lara Cricket Academy and the International Waterfront, prominent event promoter Randy Glasgow has proposed an alternative solution. Instead of outright bans, Glasgow suggests that promoters should be allowed to post a bond, which would be forfeited if noise pollution regulations are violated during events. This bond could then be allocated to affected residents’ associations as compensation. Glasgow emphasized the need for Environmental Management Authority (EMA) officials to be present at events to enforce noise regulations and ‘pull the plug’ on non-compliant activities. He also called for collaborative meetings involving promoters, residents, Udecott, EMA, police, fire services, and noise pollution experts to develop sustainable solutions. Glasgow highlighted the cultural significance of Trinidad Carnival, which he described as a global showcase of the nation’s rich heritage and creativity. He urged Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to reconsider the ban and engage with promoters to find a balanced approach. Despite the Prime Minister’s firm stance, Glasgow remains hopeful for a resolution that supports both the entertainment industry and community well-being.
