According to Frentistas, annoying noises occur 24 hours a day/g.calvelo
City Bell also has numerous noise complaints and complaints. Especially in the central and commercial area of Cantilo Street.
This was warned by the Office of the Ombudsman of La Plata, which, in a report accessed by this newspaper, said a series of complaints about “the central street that brings together the gastronomic and commercial offer of the city. Neighbors complain about loud music 24 hours a day,”. The document describes three specific catering establishments located between Camino Centenario and 15 A.
“The truth is that there are not so many complaints. They are always the same neighbors, because in Cantilo and the surrounding area the area has become very commercial. The complaints come from neighbors who are resisting in their houses,” warned Luciana Bártoli, head of the local citizens’ office. This resistance alludes to residential displacement, a landmark in City Bell that can represent commercial progress.
Cantilo represents a commercial axis that has been spreading the movement towards transversals for several years. Clothing and gastronomy coexist there. But within this pole the houses still exist.
“There were families living in Cantilo and other parallel and cross streets. Now it has changed completely. Today there are shops, galleries and dining options. There are not so many neighbors, but there are those who protest and would like to return to the old city bell,” said Bártoli. However, the complaints do not come exclusively from historical neighbors: “There are old people and young people,” the defender added.
In this protest scenario, the local public defender’s office claimed to have carried out appropriate checks and called Urban Control. “Many shops are open, so there is not much to do. We are also trying to make it clear to the neighbors that the City Bell where they lived has become a commercial area,” explains Luciana Bártoli. However, he pointed out that “although everything is fine with the above-mentioned companies,” there are some problems that could be improved to enable harmonious coexistence.
A few weeks ago, this newspaper reported on the martyrdom of neighbors near a “cultural center” in Cantilo, between 3 p.m. There is a complaint to the Administrative Court No. 5 under the guise of “disqualification and disturbing noises”.
