National Trust will stop private parties at 9pm

The Bahamas National Trust has changed its events policy to stop all private functions by 9pm.

In the last week, at least two letters appeared in local papers from people living near the Trust and losing sleep to loud noise from functions held there.

A letter from the BNT, also as a letter to the paper, said the organization has rented the area for weddings, receptions and dinner parties as a way to raise money.

On average, the Trust said about three private functions are held there per month.

The Trust said it intends to strictly enforce its new 9pm policy, although BNT functions may continue as late as midnight.
