The current 2013 noise rules inadvertently treat such food vans like ice cream vans. Without a simple sound signal, many customers won’t know we’re there. We feel the law is outdated and must allow reasonable audible signals for essential services over a longer period of time each day.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2026-03-27T15:50:22.542Z","updated_at":"2026-04-30T21:52:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-27T12:16:18.547Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-27T16:39:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"CLAIRE HOSKING","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DEFRA","name":"Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":21}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Christchurch","ons_code":"E14001171","mp":"Sir Christopher Chope MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Coventry North West","ons_code":"E14001181","mp":"Taiwo Owatemi MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Plymouth Moor View","ons_code":"E14001426","mp":"Fred Thomas MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Plymouth Sutton and Devonport","ons_code":"E14001427","mp":"Luke Pollard MP","signature_count":6},{"name":"South West Devon","ons_code":"E14001495","mp":"Rebecca Smith MP","signature_count":6},{"name":"Widnes and Halewood","ons_code":"E14001584","mp":"Derek Twigg MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":17}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
