Representatives from the county's key enforcement agencies recently attended a prestigious award ceremony at the House of Commons to receive the 2008 John Connell 'Highly Commended Award' from the Noise Abatement Society.
The award is made annually to a local authority which has made an outstanding contribution to noise reduction.
It also recognises the multi-agency partnership document which Pembrokeshire County Council's pollution control and licensing team were instrumental in establishing to deal with the threat of raves and other spontaneous events in the county.
The document was put together following a controversial rave on the Marloes peninsula in 2003
Gareth Watts, the county council's pollution control and licensing manager, and one of the team to travel to London for the ceremony, said afterwards: "It was a real honour to have received this award on behalf of the various agencies who work so tirelessly here in Pembrokeshire to deal with the threat of raves. It was a memorable occasion."
He also paid tribute to local MP Stephen Crabb's support.
Speaking at the awards, Mr. Crabb said: "I thank Pembrokeshire's licensing team for all the work they do to help maintain our county as a pleasant and safe place for the local community and for visitors alike.
"They do an extremely good job of using the legislation and common sense to balance the interests and rights of different groups.
"Ensuring that people have the maximum freedom to enjoy themselves within clear boundaries which protect the wider community from excessive noise or disturbance is no easy task, and Pembrokeshire's licensing team do it very well indeed."
County council cabinet member for environmental and regulatory services, Clr. Ken Rowlands, said the award was testament to the co-operation that had developed between the various agencies in the county.
"It is fitting that this has now been recognised at a national level," he added.
