To the Editor

I was encouraged when I saw Minden had a thoughtful noise bylaw. Last night however a loud group with music blaring rented the cottage next to our home. I called the police at about 11:30 and was told they would come out. Two hours later they still had not come out so I called again and to be honest I don’t know if they ever came or not or if around 2:30 a.m. the inconsiderate people just got tired.
For the taxes we pay and the money going to OPP we deserve better. They can sit all day in all the brand new unmarked cars and catch speeders along Hwy 35 so you would think in all that time they could have checked out the offence. The town of Minden offers a form to fill out and send in to report. What good is that? What is the sense of bylaw that no one cares to enforce?
