Pembrokeshire County Council's pollution control and licensing team have won the 2008 John Connell 'Highly Commended Award' from the Noise Abatement Society.
The team will be attending a prestigious award ceremony at the House of Commons in early November.
The award is made annually to a local authority which has made an outstanding contribution to noise reduction.
It recognises the multi-agency partnership document which the team were instrumental in establishing to deal with the threat of raves and other spontaneous events in the county, following a rave on the Marloes peninsula in 2003.
The Noise Abatement Society was founded in 1959 and campaigns to eliminate excessive noise through education and lobbying of parliament.
The award is made to recognise the founder of the society John Connell, who was responsible for the introduction of the Noise Abatement Act in 1960, which was the first piece of legislation dedicated to reducing noise nuisance in society
Said Gareth Watts, pollution control and licensing manager: "We are delighted to have won this award and I believe it is deserved recognition for the hard work we have undertaken over the past few years with Dyfed Powys Police Community Safety Partnership and our other partners in dealing with the threat of raves in our county."
