Draft letter:

Dear Mr / Mrs / Sir Paul

I see from the results of last Thursday's Private Members' Bill ballot that you were successful and would be interested to know what subjects you are considering for your Bill.

As you know, there are sites of park homes in your constituency like mine and you may be aware that many park home owners have been having problems nationwide. Following the recent House of Commons Select Committee Inquiry into park homes and the DCLG consultation on mobile homes announced by the Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP which closes on 28 May, I wonder if park homes is a subject you may be considering for your Private Member's Bill. I imagine it would be quite a popular Bill with many other MPs if it is about park homes! It would receive the support of the Government too according to Mrs Annette Brooke MP, Secretary of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Mobile Homes.

Yours sincerely

In very cold weather the floors are cold to walk on and the whole place gets cold very quickly, particularly overnight, if the heating is off. This leads to having to put the heating on a low setting overnight as well as having it on during the day. Does anyone know how the insulation of the underneath of the home can be improved and also how can we get into the roof space to increase the thickness of the roof insulation. Is there a way of improving the wall insulation also as the cupboards are quite cold when opened and the heat loss through the walls must be considerable. ]]> Interior and Exterior Improvements Bob The Car Man http://www.parkhomesforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=690
