Letter: Noises in the night and all day, too
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: 'Party Pooper' brings up the angst of living in the country. Anyone contemplating this should think carefully but not about the threat of an occasional 'rave'.
Relaxation of strictures on land use have produced a constant anxiety in us inhabitants. Peace and quiet? What an illusion. All kinds of noisy activities drown out any bird song - clay-pigeon shooting, stock-car racing, horsey get-togethers, motor-cycle scrambling, unrestricted camping, all kinds of amateur 'flying' games on the one hand, and, on the other, an influx of pig farming or the building of enormous concentration camps for 'free-range' chickens and so on. These developments bring infestations of flies and smells the urban dweller cannot imagine.
Where there is space, there is noise and pollution. Space is forbidden to the resident. Farmers can put up ugly Atcost buildings, and fencing anywhere because it is 'agricultural', but the non- farming inhabitant cannot put up a garage or a conservatory - planners forbid]
Stay in the towns - I wish we had.
Yours faithfully,
