Dear Julia Snape,
Could you please provide some additional information?
Can you confirm the name and/or frequency of the station involved, and the reason for the actions OFCOM took, for example listener complaint or mobile phone mast operator/city council (in the case of a tower block)
Yours sincerely,
David John
