Sir – “What hath night to do with sleep?” asks Milton's debauched Comus, sentiments apparently shared by West Oxfordshire District Council.

Their “authorised rave” near Cassington must have kept half of Wolvercote and Cutteslowe awake for long hours of Saturday night, with bass rattling our windows until at least half-past five on Sunday morning. Perhaps next time they would care to authorise such events closer to where most of their electors live.
