I copied my correspondence on noise with the Ministry of Culture, Media and Sport to Tim  Yeo, my M.P.
I received the following e-mail response:

Dear Cllr Riley,
Tim is currently in Suffolk so has asked me to thank you for sending him a copy of your letter to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport regarding your concerns about its proposal to deregulate Section One of the Licensing Act 2003.
Tim has written to the relevant Minister about this.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Williams
Parliamentary Assistant to Tim Yeo MP

It’s nice to receive support from a high level.
