It would be interesting to know how many other Obs residents have simlar complaints. At 2am Sunday morning there were two taxiloads of revelers continuing the festivities right outside my house in Bowden Road. I say 2 taxiloads, as there were 2 minibus taxis parked nose-to- tail, with doors open and a group of people milling about, making an ungodly racket and using my car as a bar counter. I don't know what time they left, as I was eventually able to get some sleep after closing all the windows and switching on all the fans. The next morning, there were beer-bottles and crates left all over the sidewalk in front of the house across the road. According to the neighbour, who had to clean up the mess, half of them were full of urine. Charming.
While I have no issue with the festival in principle, I do think something needs to be done about keeping the festivities within the area set aside for it, and not diffusing all over Obs. Anyone have a contact number for the organisers?
