Bonfires

Having a bonfire in the garden can cause disturbance to neighbours from the smoke, smell and smuts. The Environmental Health Service can investigate complaints regarding bonfires. It is an offence to cause dark or black smoke from any trade or industrial premises (unless previously authorised by the authority). Should you see this happening then the authority can investigate. It is also illegal to stubble burn, apart from certain types of crop stubble.
