HE’S the right hand man to the head of the country’s police forces.

As Home Secretary Theresa May’s parliamentary aide, George Hollingbery would be the last person wanting to be on the wrong end of a visit from the law.

But the Hampshire MP was left red-faced when a private party complete with “teepees” and “glamping” at his country home raged into the early hours – prompting not one but TWO visits from the boys and girls in blue before a final warning to turn the noise down.

Fed up neighbours told how they called police as loud music boomed until 2.30am as George Hollingbery, MP for the Meon Valley, hosted a joint birthday bash for himself, his wife and his 21-year-old daughter.

He invited a live band, DJs and several hundred guests to the large grounds of his country house in Abbotstone Road, Old Alresford on Saturday – prompting one fed up local to dub it more like a “mini festival”.

One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: “It was totally horrendous. It didn’t matter whether we had double glazing, earplugs, whether we dragged a mattress to the other side of the house, played a radio softly playing classical music to drown it out - we could not get to sleep until about half past two.

“It’s not music then, it’s an aural assault. It was an invasion of your privacy and an invasion of your own mental space.”

Another said: “You could hear what the songs were over the television. I’ve heard that there was a camp down there with teepees and tents.

“This is not on for George Hollingbery, is it, as an MP? He should be quiet as well. He’s had parties before but not as loud as this one.”

A third resident dubbed it more like a “mini festival” with people “glamping” in the grounds.

Police said they visited the house at 11.30pm over light complaints and again an hour later to tackle the noise. The band played until 1.30am while other music continued.

Mr Hollingbery received a final message from Hampshire Constabulary at 1.43am requesting he turn the noise down.

The MP, private parliamentary secretary to Ms May, has previously spoken out over noise pollution in his constituency.

In an article for parish magazines in April, he said that noise from large groups of bikers on county roads was “a real problem ...particularly at weekends and on summer evenings when the noise can be continuous for residents.”

In a statement, Mr Hollingbery said he was “very sorry” for the disruption.

He said: “Over the years, we have held quite a few parties at my house – the vast majority of them for charity - and this is the first time there has been a problem with noise. The format was much the same as we've used before so I'm at a loss as to why things didn't work out well for our neighbours in Alresford this time.

“Before the event, we sent letters to those nearby warning them of what was going to happen but perhaps, in hindsight, we should have sent those letters out more widely.

“I truly understand it was clearly unpleasant for some of our neighbours and I very much hope they will accept my sincere apologies.”

Mr Hollingbery told the Daily Echo that the party was for friends and family and that the prime minister, David Cameron, and Ms May did not attend.

He offered no comment when asked how the incident reflects on his position in the Home Office.
