Air vent in living room

[Galvanised]

Can i block the vent in the living room as the the wife is complaining that a really cold draught is blowing through in the evening/morning.
Will it cause a lot of condensation..or can i get a vent i can open and close..?
Cheers

do you have a gas fire/back boiler by any chance?

 

[Galvanised]

The gas fire/back boiler was removed when we had our Condensate boiler fitted and in place of the gas fire we have an electric one ( just for show it wont b used )
This is why i was thinking it could be ok to plaster over the vent as i'm currently working on the front wall with the vent in..or will it cause problems like damp etc..
Cheers mate..
