PelhamToday received the following letter to the editor from reader Patrick O’Hara in response to COTE'S COMMENTS | Engine noise and masculinity.

Further to Mr. Cote's article regarding excessive noise from motorcycles and cars/trucks with modified exhausts, in the early spring I spoke to both Councillors Eckhardt and Wink and they promised to look into the problem.

Let's not allow this problem to fade into the background. Instead, let's pressure our elected representatives to do something concrete.

Councillor Eckhardt has extensive Niagara Regional Police experience. What buttons can he press to have the province's anti-noise laws enforced? What can the Town's bylaw officers do?
