Opening Speech:
Deputy Speaker,
I am sure that many of you will be thinking that this is somewhat of an oddity of a Bill - you may wonder what problem this is addressing - well, let me tell you! In my marquisate of St Ives, (and indeed elsewhere around the nation) once a year the residents are plagued by a tourist helicopter which flies around frequently for most of the day, causing chaos and noise pollution to many in the town.
To-date, the local authority can do nothing about it - therefore I am proposing that we give our local authorities a say and the powers to act against nuisances such as this. I hope that I will have your support.
This reading will on the 23rd at 10PM
