Mothers at Marina Residence 1/2/3
As you know, unfortunately there is no play areas in the MR area. I would like you to please take into consideration what I have to say.
I live on the 1st floor and there is a bit of open space below my terrace. Everyday starting around 9:30 AM until around 7:30 PM housemaids congregate on the promenade under my terrace. There can be up to 6 at a given time, and 9 children. I have to listen to the housemaids chattering away to each other or on their mobiles - it appears that they can't keep the volume down. There are children crying or screaming while playing. Because of the level of noise I cannot keep my doors open. I have on several occasions asked them to move away from the area (one little girl stuck her tongue out at me and the housemaid had herself a laugh) but it seems to be the one area that doesn't get sun so they keep returning. When they have moved I noticed that when the sun comes around they move further into shaded areas so the children aren't exposed to the sun. Try to imagine if you had this under your terrace every day?
I have watched children run around with no socks on. They are made to sit on cold marble. They are left to run around barefoot or with only socks on the cold cement passage where dogs pee and poo. I have seen things picked up from the ground and given to the child - toys and baby bottles. Recently 4 housemaids were sitting around and a child was walking on a ledge and took a fall which was at least 2 feet to the ground. The housemaids had their backs to the child and another child had to tell them about the fallen girl. I also saw a young boy climbing onto a metal box which is some sort of cabinet (I haven't seen it up close) set on a pole with the door open. The pole is at least 5 feet high. I saw a child sitting in the huge pot where there is a date tree. She was throwing the little balls out onto the ground. The housemaids also eat and leave a mess of food droppings.
I also observed where there were at least 4 housemaids and the toddlers they were watching go in and out of a tenants apartment which is on the promenade level. I could only wonder if madam was home, and if not, did she know the traffic that was going through her home?
I am asking that you speak to your housemaid and tell them if the are amongst those that congregate near building 2 to find a place to meet up where they will not disturb other tenants. I don't want to be a meanie and get Nahkeel Security where they would take down the building/apartment of each housemaid and pay you a visit. For all intents and purposes this is a common area that is being used as a play area, which it is not. I do believe I am entitled to peace and quite and the consideration of other tenants, as all tenants are, and should not have to be subjected for 10 hours of noise.
So I respectfully request you take into consideration my post and try to help correct the situation.
